Trunk endurance differences between female adolescents with and without idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Spine deformity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThis study compared trunk muscle endurance between female adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and non-AIS groups.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 91 females. Trunk muscle endurance was assessed using the Ito-Shirado and Biering-Sørensen tests. Anthropometric and radiographic data were collected. The Mann-Whitney U test compared endurance and abdominal-to-paraspinal endurance ratio between groups. Spearman's correlation assessed relationships between endurance and participant characteristics.
resultsThe AIS group's performance on the Ito-Shirado and Biering-Sørensen tests was 57% and 68% of the non-AIS group's test durations, respectively (p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the abdominal-to-paraspinal endurance ratio between the two groups (p = 0.7). Additionally, a low negative correlation was observed between paraspinal muscle endurance and both weight (rho = - 0.29, p = 0.006)) and BMI (rho = - 0.3, p = 0.005) in the AIS group, while abdominal endurance correlated negatively with height (rho = - 0.25, p = 001). DISCUSSION: Females with AIS exhibit significantly reduced endurance in both paraspinal and abdominal muscles compared to healthy controls, despite maintaining a similar abdominal-to-paraspinal endurance ratio. The findings suggest the need for trunk muscle endurance evaluation and training in rehabilitation programs for individuals with AIS.
