Benefits of Intensive Rehabilitation Programs Using Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Purpose Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) affects 3% of adolescents. Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) are recommended to limit AIS progression, especially within intensive multidisciplinary programs. Our study evaluated the efficiency of these programs in AIS cases with a high progression risk. Methods We conducted a controlled retrospective observational study using data collected from a multicenter cohort that was prospectively collected. One hundred and forty-three major AIS cases with a high progression risk, treated with a corrective brace, were included and divided into two matched groups. In the PSSE group, 72 adolescents followed an intensive 4-week PSSE rehabilitation program; in the control group, 71 adolescents did not follow this program. Patient files were assessed at V0 (inclusion), V1 (6 to 12 months after V0) and V2 (≥ 6 months after V1). The evaluation criteria were: change in Cobb angle and percentage of patients reaching surgical stage at V2. Results At V1, 54.2% of patients in the PSSE group showed improvement compared to 16.9% in the control group (p < 0.001). In contrast, 38.9% of patients in the PSSE group were stabilized, compared to 53.3% in the control group (p = 0.2). At V2, 34.7% of patients in the PSSE group improved compared to 15.5.% in the control group (p <0.006). At V2, 55.6% of patients in the PSSE group were stabilised versus 40.8% in the control group (p < 0.05). At V2, 8.3% of patients in the PSSE group reached the surgical stage versus 21.1% in the control group (p = 0.005). Conclusion Our study is an additional argument in favor of using PSSE rehabilitation in AIS.
