Brace Compliance Model in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Qualitative Research.
Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Evaluating the performance of a brace in the treatment of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, without considering the process of brace compliance, is not comprehensive and valuable. This study aimed to evaluate the multifaceted and complex modality of brace compliance by drawing a comprehensive model with a qualitative approach. Methods: This study employed the grounded theory methodology to systematically explore and interpret factors affecting brace compliance, uncovering patterns and themes that influence treatment success. Data collection involved nonrandom convenience sampling of individuals from local clinics specializing in orthotic management of scoliosis. A semi-structured interview guide was utilized to explore participants' experiences, challenges, and perceptions related to brace compliance and orthotic treatment. We engaged in constant comparison analysis as data were collected until we reached saturation, where no new themes emerged from additional data. Results: A total of 133 codes about the experiences of patients, parents, and specialists were extracted from the transcripts and categorized into 42 subthemes. The study identified 8 interconnected themes-including extensive lifestyle changes, visible improvements, supervision dynamics, result maintenance, a sense of difference, long-term commitment, monotony, and hope for a definitive treatment without surgery. Conclusion: This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of compliance with braces and the dynamic interplay between patients, their families, and the treatment process.
