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

Congenital scoliosis (CS) is a prevalent spinal deformity with a multifaceted etiology that remains incompletely understood. Recent advances in genetic and epigenetic research have provided novel insights into CS pathogenesis. Herein, we review the current progress in genetics and epigenetics to examine genetic variants, susceptibility factors, and the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms implicated in CS. Through an analysis of diverse genetic markers, chromosomal abnormalities, and epigenetic modifications, the correlation between genetic predisposition and environmental influences in CS pathogenesis is elucidated. By integrating these genetic and epigenetic findings, this study aims to clarify the underlying etiology of CS to provide guidance on future clinical interventions and promote the development of personalized therapeutic strategies.
