Vertebral Body Tethering in an Adult With Lumbar Idiopathic Scoliosis: Rationale and 6-Year Outcomes.
Article in JBJS case connector, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
caseWe report a case of adolescent-onset idiopathic scoliosis of the lumbar spine in a 43-year-old woman treated with nonfusion vertebral body tethering (VBT), a controversial and unreported technique in this age group. At 6-year follow-up, clinical and radiographic improvements are maintained. She continues to live an active lifestyle and reports being pain free.
conclusionWe demonstrate intermediate term safety and efficacy of VBT in a single adult patient. Careful ongoing assessment of this patient is needed to determine if this procedure will have a durable outcome and lend support for adequately powered prospective multicenter studies.
