Patient-Reported Mental Health and Quality of Life in Pediatric Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients.
Review in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2025. 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
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a prevalent spinal deformity that can affect patients' mental health and overall quality of life. Orthopaedic providers commonly employ questionnaires such as the (scoliosis research society) SRS-22, PROMIS, and pediatric/s quality of life, among others, to assess patient-reported outcomes, including pain interference, depressive symptoms, and self-image. This article aims to examine the effect of various AIS treatments on patients' mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), while also discussing the utility of these questionnaires in clinical research. The reviewed studies consistently demonstrate that treatment may influence patients' mental health, emphasizing the vital role of questionnaires in measuring mental health and HRQoL throughout their treatment journey. Furthermore, these instruments enable healthcare providers to implement strategies that enhance patients' mental well being as part of their treatment plans. AIS poses a risk factor for poor mental health and HRQoL. However, further research is warranted to determine the longitudinal effect of AIS on mental health and HRQoL. These investigations will empower healthcare providers to identify optimal treatment plans, thereby alleviating the burden on the mental health and HRQoL of AIS patients.
