Preoperative halo traction for rigid spinal deformity in contractures, pterygia, and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome 1B: a case report and literature review.
Review in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2026. 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
purposeThis study reports a surgical case for spinal deformity in a patient with contractures, pterygia, and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome 1B (CPSFSIB), a rare autosomal recessive musculoskeletal disorder caused by biallelic mutations in MYH3.
methodsA female patient with congenital joint contractures was admitted due to severe thoracic scoliosis and lordosis. The patient was diagnosed with CPSFSIB following whole exome sequencing (WES). After a period of halo-gravity traction for 1 week and halo-pelvic traction for 7 weeks, the patient underwent posterior Smith-Peterson osteotomy (SPO).
resultsPostoperative radiographs demonstrated a significant correction of scoliosis from 100° to 54°, and thoracic kyphosis was restored from - 35° to 11°. At the 2-year follow-up, the patient exhibited a satisfactory deformity correction and regained the ability to perform daily living activities.
conclusionTo date, only 23 cases of CPSFSIB have been reported in the literature, with no previous documentation of surgical interventions for severe spinal deformity. Our study provided a comprehensive clinical report on this rare musculoskeletal disorder and introduced an effective surgical strategy, contributing valuable insights to the management of CPSFSIB. Additionally, we presented the new detection of MYH3 allele mutations, including the first report of the c.-9 + 1G > A variant in the East Asian population and the c.748 C > T variant in the global CPSFSIB patient cohort.
