Management of Severe Rigid Scoliosis: Best practices and controversies.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 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
Severe rigid scoliosis (SRS) is a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity that often presents with limited curve flexibility, sagittal and coronal imbalance, and significant cardiopulmonary compromise. Management is challenging and controversial due to the complex interplay of factors involved in surgical decision-making. Key debates include the relative merits of posterior-only versus combined anterior-posterior approaches, optimal use and duration of preoperative traction, appropriate timing and staging of correction, and the selection and sequencing of osteotomy techniques based on curve characteristics. This narrative review outlines evidence-based best practices and critically appraises the ongoing controversies in the management of SRS. The review highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary, individualized approach that accounts for both the structural characteristics of the deformity and the patient's overall health.
