Article in American journal of clinical and experimental immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical effectiveness of surface electromyography combined with a spine 3D data system.
methods10 idiopathic scoliosis patients (age: 12.90±3.67 years, height: 155.90±20.07 cm, weight: 48.00±12.86 kg, 6 major thoracic lateral bends and 4 lumbar bends) who were selected to attend the outpatient clinic of Ruijin Rehabilitation Hospital, First diagnosed as scoliosis by imaging examination (EOS system), evaluation by using the surface electromyography monitoring system, the radiation-free 3D spine data acquisition and analysis system, the surface electromyography of the paravertebral muscles (root mean square value (RMS) of the resting standing and action position of the spine) and the Cobb angle of scoliosis were recorded.
resultsThe RMS of the convex side was larger than that of the concave side in the two postures (P<0.05), and The RMS value of bilateral action position was significantly higher than that of rest position (P<0.05). There was no correlation between RMS ratio and Cobb angle in two positions of thoracic scoliosis (P>0.05). There was a significant correlation between the RMS ratio at rest position of lumbar scoliosis and Cobb angle. At rest, the RMS value of convex side was significantly correlated with the Cobb angle measured by the EOS system and the 3D data system (P<0.05, of which P<0.01). The Cobb angle measured by 3D data system and the EOS system was significantly correlated (P<0.01).
conclusionSurface EMG can be used to evaluate the motor function of paravertebral muscles on both sides of scoliosis patients. The new 3D data system has high accuracy in evaluating scoliosis. The combination of the two can dynamically evaluate scoliosis, which is more clinically effective.
