1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis, with severe cases leading to a decline in patients with worsening angulation of deformity. Technical nuances of spinal flexibility and cord type based on the extent of the deformity may impact operating safety and outcome, with risks including neurological loss during and after surgical intervention. Here we present a case of posterior osteotomy and correction of a patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a T2 - L3 fusion in which transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) were lost intraoperatively, thus requiring application of operative consensus guidelines for the loss of neuromonitoring data. Particularly, the discussion focuses on the decision-making process that resulted in the complete recovery of TcMEPs and SSEPs post-operatively.
