Efficacy Comparison of Multiplanar Deformity Reducer System and Direct Vertebral Rotation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Corrective Surgery.

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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the multiplanar deformity reducer (MDR) and direct vertebral rotation (DVR) techniques in surgically treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), focusing on surgical and radiographic outcomes.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on AIS patients who underwent surgery between December 2017 and August 2019, comparing the outcomes of those treated with MDR system and DVR technique. Data on demographics and surgical characteristics were collected, while radiographic parameters were measured manually by three spine surgeons and by EOS 3D analysis (EOS imaging, Paris, France).
resultsNine patients were surgically corrected with the MDR system and 13 with DVR, who were predominantly females with an average age in their late teens. Despite more fusion levels in the MDR group (12.3±1.0) compared to the DVR group (10.0±3.2), operation time, blood loss, overall radiographic correction, and patient-reported outcome was comparable. Moreover, only the interrater reliability for manual apical vertebral rotation measurements was below good, which necessitates the use of EOS 3D analysis.
conclusionThe MDR technique is effective and safe for AIS surgery, offering comparable corrective efficacy to the DVR technique. Furthermore, EOS 3D imaging was more reliable for assessing rotational deformities, which incorporates pelvic position.
