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
objectiveTo quantify differences of global and segmental sagittal thoracolumbar alignment between normal individuals and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) according to primary curve types.
methodsRadiographic parameters were compared between 1115 normal adolescents and young adults versus 1779 AIS. Thoracic kyphosis (T1-T12), lumbar lordosis (L1-S1), segmental alignment (T1-T5, T5-T10), thoracolumbar junction (T10-L1), segmental lordosis (L1-L4, L4-S1), lumbar and thoracic apex, thoracolumbar inflection point, global alignment parameters (SVA C7, SVA C2, OD-HA, TPA, GT, SSA) and pelvic parameters (PI, PT, SS) were measured.
resultsC2 and C7 SVA was smaller and more posteriorly located in AIS compared to normal. Primary thoracic curves (Lenke 1, 2 and 3) had the lowest TK at T5-T10 compared to normal and primary thoracolumbar curves (Lenke 5 and 6). The thoracolumbar junction T10-L1 was smallest and slightly lordotic in Lenke 1 and 2. Distal lordosis L4-S1 and PI were highest in thoracolumbar curves (Lenke 3, 5 and 6). Thoracolumbar inflexion points, thoracic and lumbar apex were located more cranial in thoracic curves (Lenke 1 and 2) compared to normal and other AIS types.
conclusionThoracic curves (Lenke 1 and 2) were hypokyphotic in the distal thoracic segment T5-T10, had a neutral thoracolumbar junction T10-L1 and their apex and thoracolumbar junction were more cranial. Lenke 3 curves had an increased lordosis in the distal lumbar segment L4-S1. Primary lumbar curves (Lenke 5 and 6) had a higher PI and distal lordosis L4-S1, and the highest C7 SVA.
