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

Over the past two decades, interest in minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has grown substantially, driven by advancements in growth-based surgical techniques. Given the substantial advancements in MISS for AIS, investigating the bibliometric data of the scientific literature is crucial to understanding the current research trend and providing valuable insights into its future directions. However, limited information on MISS for AIS exists in the literature. The publication data related to MISS for AIS from 2004 to 2024 were exported from the Web of Science. The research output between 2004 and 2024 was 373 for publication volume, 7760 for citations, and 46 for h-index. The annual publication and citation trend over time showed a gradual increase with fluctuations up until 2017, followed by a sharp upward trend starting in 2018. The foremost countries and affiliations in this field were the United States and Montreal University in Canada, respectively. The top 10 most-cited articles on MISS in AIS predominantly focused on the topic of vertebral body tethering (VBT). Among the productive authors, most contributions were focused on VBT, while several authors in South Korea significantly contributed to the study of MISS via a posterior approach. Historical development of VBT and posterior MISS identified their current advantages and limitations and highlighted potential future research directions.
