How to view the effectiveness of spinal deformity surgery for adult degenerative scoliosis in octogenarian population? A comprehensive analysis and judgment.

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
This study aims to explore the connections between risk factors and clinical outcomes in octogenarian patients diagnosed with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS). A total of 394 patients participated in this study, with 206 individuals in the younger group and 188 in the octogenarian group. We meticulously gathered patient demographics, including basic information, comorbidities, radiographic data, clinical scoring systems, and details on medical and surgical complications as well as revision surgeries. Univariable linear regression analysis revealed positive correlations between age and several postoperative outcomes: Sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (B = -0.572, P = 0.001), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) (B = 0.145, P < 0.001), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score (B = 0.035, P < 0.001). Additionally, a positive relationship was observed between age and both proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) (B = 0.055, P = 0.039) and internal fixation loosening (B = 0.253, P < 0.001). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that the age threshold values for predicting PJK and internal fixation loosening were 71.5 and 79.5, respectively. In octogenarian patients with ADS, the cost associated with spinal deformity surgery is accompanied by a greater incidence of surgical complications. Compared to younger patients, surgical intervention tends to be more effective at enhancing objective motor functions while having a lesser impact on the subjective experiences of octogenarian patients.
