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

Congenital spinal deformities (CSDs) are rare but severe conditions caused by abnormalities in vertebral development during embryogenesis. These deformities, including scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, significantly impair patients' quality of life and present challenges in diagnosis and treatment. This review integrates genetic, molecular, and developmental insights to provide a comprehensive framework for classifying and understanding CSDs. Traditional classification systems based on morphological criteria, such as failures in vertebral formation, segmentation, or mixed defects, are evaluated alongside newer molecular-genetic approaches. Advances in genetic technologies, including whole-exome sequencing, have identified critical genes and pathways involved in somitogenesis and sclerotome differentiation, such as
