What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo identify the clinical phenotypes associated with the rate of progression while waiting for surgery and propose a classification scheme for identifying subgroups of patients to prioritize for surgery when long surgical delays are expected.
methodsWe reviewed the clinical and radiographic data of a prospective cohort of patients scheduled for IS surgery from 2004 to 2020 with a minimum 1-year wait prior to surgery. Candidate predictors consisted of age, sex, Risser sign, menarchal status, angle of trunk rotation, scoliotic curve type, and main Cobb angle at baseline when scheduled for surgery. Univariate and Regression Tree analysis were performed to identify predictors associated with the annual curve progression rate in the main Cobb angle between baseline and surgery.
resultsThere were 214 patients (178 females) aged 15 ± 2 years, with a Risser sign 3.4 ± 1.6 and a main Cobb angle 55°±10° at baseline. The average wait prior to surgery was 1.3 ± 0.4 years. Only the Risser sign, menarchal status and sex were significantly associated with the annual progression rate. We have identified 3 clinically and significantly different groups of patients presenting slow (3 ± 4°/yr if Risser sign 3 to 5), moderate (8 ± 4°/yr if female with Risser sign 0 to 2 and post-menarchal), and fast (15 ± 10°/yr if Risser sign 0 to 2 and premenarchal or male) progression rates.
conclusionWe present an evidence-based surgical prioritization algorithm for pediatric idiopathic scoliosis that can easily be implemented in clinical practice when long surgical delays are expected.
