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

backgroundAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex three-dimensional deformity, and up to now, there has been no literature reporting the analysis of a large sample of X-ray imaging parameters based on artificial intelligence (AI) for it. This study is based on the accurate and rapid measurement of x-ray coronal imaging parameters in AIS patients by AI, to explore the differences and correlations, and to further investigate the risk factors in different groups, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of AIS.

methodsRetrospective analysis of 3192 patients aged 8-18 years who had a full-length orthopantomogram of the spine and were diagnosed with AIS at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to March 2024. After screened 2092 cases were finally included. The uAI DR scoliosis analysis system with multi-resolution VB-Net convolution network architecture was used to measure CA, CBD, CV, RSH, T1 Tilt, PT, LLD, SS, AVT, and TS parameters. The results were organized and analyzed by using R Studio 4.2.3 software.

resultsThe differences in CA, CBD, CV, RSH, TI tilt, PT, LLD and SS were statistically significant between male and female genders (p < 0.05); Differences in CA, CBD, T1 Tilt, PT, SS, AVT and TS were statistically significant in patients with AIS of different severity (p < 0.001), and T1 Tilt, AVT, TS were risk factors; Differences in CA, CBD, CV, RSH, T1 Tilt, PT, LLD, SS, AVT and TS were statistically significant (p < 0.05) in patients with AIS of different curve types, and TS was a risk factor; Analyzing the correlation between parameters revealed a highly linear correlation between CV and RSH (r = 0.826, p < 0.001), and a significant linear correlation between CBD and TS, and PT and SS (r = 0.561, p < 0.001; r = 0.637, p < 0.001).

conclusionMeasurements based on VB-Net neural network found that x-ray coronal imaging parameters varied among AIS patients with different curve types and severities. In clinical practice, it is recommended to consider the discrepancy in parameters to enable a more accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
