Factors Associated with Presentation of Severe Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Article in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Key Concepts: •At the time of diagnosis, a patient's curve magnitude (calculated via Cobb angle) and future growth potential have significant implications in both curve progression and treatment planning.•Avoiding spinal fusion by early curve identification and appropriate nonoperative (i.e., brace) treatment reduces patient risk and healthcare spending.•There are sociodemographic disparities in the identification and initiation of treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.•The odds of presenting with severe scoliosis are increased in patients who identify as Black/African American or female and/or come from areas with a lower access to resources (as defined by the Child Opportunity Index).
