Perspectives on quality-of-life priorities for caregivers and children with neuromuscular, syndromic, and skeletal dysplasia scoliosis: a CPCHILD questionnaire analysis.
Article in Spine deformity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLiterature is scarce regarding health-related quality of life priorities between caregivers and children with scoliosis with an underlying neuromuscular, syndromic, or skeletal dysplasia diagnosis (NSSD). Section 7 of the CPCHILD offers a tool for assessing unique QoL concerns in this population with a 36-item assessment. Our objective was to identify areas of agreement/disagreement between caregivers and children regarding QoL priorities.
methodsA retrospective review of prospectively, consecutively enrolled NSSD patients who underwent scoliosis surgery from 2016 to 2022. Descriptive statistics were performed to rank the responses in order of priority. Based on rankings, the 36 QoL items were grouped into concordant agreement (high/low priority) and discordant agreement (high priority to caregiver or children). The cohort was further analyzed by diagnosis and ambulatory status.
results195 CPCHILD questionnaires were analyzed. "Overall health", "Happiness", and "Comfort while sitting" were items both caregivers and children agreed were high priorities. Conversely, items such as "Putting on/taking off upper clothes", "Putting on/wearing footwear", "Hair care/grooming", "Transferring into/out of a wheelchair/chair", "Standing for exercise/transfers", and "Able to play alone" were low priorities.
conclusionNSSD families share global QoL priorities, however, distinct priorities can be identified between diagnostic and functional groups. Understanding these areas of concordance and discordance may help providers address and assess the outcomes of scoliosis surgery. Our findings recognize that the impact of scoliosis surgery extends beyond improving spinal alignment and function. Factors such as emotional well-being, social engagement, and functional independence clearly influence perceptions of QoL in anticipation of scoliosis surgery.
