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

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Schroth method combined with spinal manipulation treatment in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study performed between January 2023 and February 2024, in which 150 patients with AIS were treated with Schroth method with or without spinal manipulation at Wenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Patients were classified into a study group and a control group with 50 patients in each group after screening. Intervention effects, maximum Cobb angle, clavicle angle before and after the treatment, trunk rotation angle, vertebral rotation angle, and lumbar range of motion (range of motion for lumbar extension and flexion) were compared between the two groups. Results: The overall efficacy of intervention in the study group was higher than that in the control group (96.00% Conclusions: In patients with AIS, combining the Schroth method and spinal manipulation treatment was more effective in reducing the maximum Cobb and clavicle angles, trunk rotation angle, and vertebral rotation angle and restoring the lumbar range of motion compared to the Schroth method alone.
