1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundScoliosis is the most common paediatric spinal deformity. More than 80% of scoliosis is idiopathic and appears during the adolescent growth spurt. Spinal fusion surgery is often required for patients with progressive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), and the genetic risk factors for severe disease (defined here as curve >35 degrees) are largely unknown.

methodsTo explore the role of rare variants in severe AIS, exome sequence data from 1221 individuals with AIS were compared with both 1397 in-house European ancestry controls and 56885 gnomAD non-Finish European controls. Segregation analysis of variants in prioritised genes was performed in additional family members. A replication study was performed using the Geisinger MyCode cohort.

resultsRare variants were enriched in 84 genes, including
