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

Introduction: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity affecting young adults aged 10 years and above. Severity of scoliosis usually increase with aged, and hence early detection of scoliosis is crucial for conservative treatment to avoid surgery and preserving health-related quality of life. This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) approach in gait, abdominal core stability and lumbopelvic functional stability in individual with AIS. Methods: 24 targeted AIS participants will be randomly allocated into two group for 12-week interventions, three times per week including 2 non-supervised sessions. Outcome measure will be assessed using measuring tape, stabilizer pressure biofeedback, wearable sensor BTS G-walk® with treadmill. Paired Results: This study protocol hypothesizes that DNS approach will have a more significant impact on improving the gait, core stability and lumbopelvic stability among AIS. Conclusion: DNS approach can be effectively implemented in clinical settings to enhance the physical and functional mobility AIS patients.
