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

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine that can lead to a series of physical and psychological problems. Appropriate controlling forces should be applied to prevent the curve's progression and even correct the deformity. The aims of this study were to develop a biomechanical model that can quickly estimate the optimal positions and magnitudes of the controlling forces for treating scoliosis and to analyze the interaction between longitudinal traction and lateral forces. Based on the scoliotic curve information that was extracted and simulated from the computed tomography data of patients, a mathematical model of scoliosis was established via the Timoshenko beam theory. The model could be optimized to provide precise and effective treatment for patients with different scoliosis curve patterns. The relationship between the corrective force position, magnitude, and the treatment effect on scoliosis could be obtained using this model. This study provides a biomechanical theoretical basis for determining the magnitude, position, and sequence of applying controlling forces on spines for patients with scoliosis.
