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
objectiveNumerous studies have reported that corrective surgery improves postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), and postoperative HRQOL is maintained over 5-year follow-up. However, few studies have investigated factors associated with mid-term patient satisfaction. This study aimed to examine the factors contributing to 5-year patient satisfaction in patients with ASD following corrective surgery.
methodsThis study included 51 patients who underwent corrective surgery and were followed up for > 5 years postoperatively. We investigated radiographic parameters and patient-reported outcomes using the Scoliosis Research Society 22r (SRS-22r) questionnaire and 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) preoperatively and at two postoperative time points: two years (PO2Y) and five years (PO5Y). Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between patient satisfaction at PO5Y and both radiographic parameters and HRQOL scores at PO2Y and PO5Y. Correlation between patient satisfaction at PO5Y and improvement of both radiographic parameters and HRQOL scores were also assessed.
resultsPatient satisfaction at PO5Y was significantly correlated with thoracic kyphosis, thoracolumbar kyphosis, and the distance between the C7-plumb line and the center of the sacral vertical line at PO2Y and PO5Y. Notably, the improvement of the function and social function domains of the SRS-22r and the SF-36, respectively, both at PO2Y and PO5Y, demonstrated a significantly weak correlation with patient satisfaction at PO5Y.
conclusionThese findings underscore the significance of functional and social function improvements following corrective surgery, as they contribute to higher levels of satisfaction among patients with ASD.
