Management of adolescent scoliosis: a comprehensive review of etiology and rehabilitation.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Adolescent scoliosis (AS) is a complex spinal deformity characterized by a curvature exceeding 10 degrees, affecting 1%-3% of adolescents globally. Despite extensive research, its etiology remains multifactorial, involving genetic, biomechanical, neuromuscular, and environmental factors. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of AS and explores the latest developments in non-surgical rehabilitation strategies, including physical therapy, bracing, exercise therapy, and psychological interventions. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and virtual reality, are revolutionizing diagnostic accuracy and treatment personalization. The review also highlights the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration and psychological support in improving patient outcomes. By identifying key research gaps and proposing innovative future directions-such as the integration of epigenetics, advanced biomechanical modeling, and AI-driven precision rehabilitation-this article aims to provide clinicians and researchers with a comprehensive framework for managing AS. Ultimately, this review underscores the importance of early detection, personalized treatment, and long-term follow-up in enhancing the quality of life for adolescents with scoliosis.
