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

STUDY

designRetrospective study. PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the clinical impact and risk factors for residual T1 tilt in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data of patients with AIS and Lenke type 1 curves who underwent posterior fusion. Residual T1 tilt was defined as T1 tilt > 5° at 2 years postoperatively. Patients were classified based on the presence of residual T1 tilt: residual T1 tilt ( +) and residual T1 tilt (-) groups. Radiographic parameters and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.

resultsAmong 128 patients, 44 (34.4%) had residual T1 tilt. The residual T1 tilt ( +) group had a significantly greater preoperative proximal thoracic (PT) curve, greater preoperative T1 tilt, and main thoracic (MT) curve correction rate than the residual T1 tilt (-) group. Shoulder imbalance and neck tilt rates at 2 years postoperatively were significantly higher in the residual T1 tilt ( +) group. The residual T1 tilt ( +) group had a significantly worse postoperative self-image score. Multivariate analysis identified the preoperative PT curve magnitude as an independent risk factor for residual T1 tilt. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified a preoperative PT curve cutoff value of 26.5°.

conclusionAchieving horizontalization of T1 tilt is vital to improve the self-image of patients with Lenke type 1 AIS. The study highlights the clinical impact of T1 tilt and identifies the preoperative PT curve magnitude as a significant independent risk factor. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.
