Transient Brachial Plexus Traction Palsy Following Scoliosis Deformity Correction Surgery - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Correction of spinal deformity in the pediatric age group is associated with a neurological complication at a rate of 0.71-0.94%. Of these, primary brachial plexus traction palsies have been rarely reported. Case Report: We present two cases of complex painless spinal deformity in growing children, managed initially with halo gravity traction with post-operative transient brachial plexus palsy diagnosed on post-operative day 1. Post-operative magnetic resonance imaging showed edema around the brachial plexus which resolved at 4 weeks in both cases. Conclusion: Transient brachial plexus palsy may present postoperatively in patients with excessive correction of neck tilt angle and T1 slope angle. They generally have a good prognosis with medical management and the surgeon need not rush with a decision on re-exploration.
