Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis treated with anterior vertebral body tethering and disc releases: a case report.

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
A 10-year-old male with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis underwent an anterior vertebral body tether (VBT) and two disc releases to correct his 72° thoracolumbar curvature. To the best of our knowledge, this procedure has not been previously documented. The patient trialed bracing prior to presenting to our institution, but his curve continued to progress. In an effort to maintain truncal flexibility and preserve growth, the patient and his family elected for a VBT. A preoperative MRI was unremarkable, and the patient had no underlying medical conditions. The operation was complicated by undersized and severely rotated vertebrae. The curvature failed to adequately correct with increasing cord tension. Two disc releases were performed at the apex of the curve: T8-T9 and T9-T10. The VBT cord spanned T5-L3. At the patient's 3-year post-operative appointment, his major cobb angle measured 22° and showed no evidence of fusion.
