Radiographic parameter differences in degenerative scoliosis with/without degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.

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
objectiveTo investigate the imaging differences between degenerative scoliosis (DS) with or without degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS).
methods124 patients who underwent DS correction were enrolled in this study. Group A comprised 58 patients with DS with DLS, and group B comprised 66 patients with DS without DLS. Preoperative, postoperative, and 2-year follow-up coronal and sagittal imaging parameters were measured. The patients were classified in accordance with the SRS-Schwab classification, Schwab classification, and modified Abelin-Genevois classification. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain, and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores.
resultsThe primary affected vertebrae in group A were the L3/4 segment (53.4%), whereas in group B, the L2/3 or L3/4 segments (42.4% and 39.3%, respectively) were affected. In the Schwab classification, most patients in group A were classified as type III, and most patients in group B were classified as type II (P < 0.05). In the modified Abelin-Genevois classification, most patients in group A were classified as grade AG4, but group B were most classified as grade AG3 (P < 0.05). Preoperative CVA, Cobb angle, apical vertical rotation, and SVA were larger in group A than those in group B, whereas LL and DH were smaller (P < 0.05). Preoperative Cobb angle, CVA, and SVA were larger in patients with grade II spondylolisthesis in group A, whereas LL was smaller(P < 0.05).
conclusionCompared with DS without DLS, DS with DLS is associated with greater preoperative coronal and sagittal imbalance; larger CVA, SVA, and Cobb angle; and smaller LL. Differences in CVA, SVA, Cobb angle, and LL were more obvious with high DS severity.
