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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the efficacy and complications of one-stage posterior hemivertebrectomy and asymmetric osteotomy combined with posterior release in treating congenital scoliosis among young children.
methodsThe retrospective study comprised 30 patients with congenital scoliosis who were admitted between January 2016 and May 2023. The control group consisted of 15 patients who received standard posterior osteotomy with posterior release, while the study group consisted of the remaining 15 patients who underwent one-stage posterior hemivertebrectomy. The perioperative metrics, treatment outcomes, lumbar-thoracic function, quality of life, and complications between the two groups were compared.
resultsThe study group showed better outcomes than the control group in terms of the duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospital stay (P < 0.05). The study group had lower values for the thoracic Cobb angle, the lumbar Cobb angle, and the distance from the midpoint of C7 to the sacral vertical line (C7-CSVL) than that of the control group. (P < 0.05). In terms of the SRS-22 score and Oswestry Disability Index evaluation, the study group outperformed the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence rate of complications was lower in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionPosterior hemivertebra resection significantly improves the treatment outcomes for young children with congenital scoliosis. It can shorten the duration of surgery, reduce intraoperative blood loss and the length of hospital stay, decrease the thoracic and lumbar Cobb angles, rapidly restore lumbar-thoracic function, enhance the quality of life, and has fewer complications.
