Mental Health and Mental Illness in Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery: A Systematic Review.
Review in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mental health disorders are known to correlate with poorer outcomes in orthopaedic surgery, yet research focusing on pediatric orthopaedic patients remains sparse. This study aims to evaluate publication trends on mental health within pediatric orthopaedic surgery over the past two decades. A systematic review was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Searches in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science identified articles published between January 1, 2003 and July 17, 2023, focusing on mental health in pediatric orthopaedic patients. Study year, specific Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) condition, orthopaedic diagnoses, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) were extracted. A total of 2,629 articles were screened, and 69 met the inclusion criteria. Linear regression revealed a significant positive association between year and number of publications ( Key Concepts: (1)Over the last two decades, mental health research within pediatric orthopaedic surgery has surged, confirming that clinicians are increasingly recognizing the importance of psychological well-being in young patients.(2)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) stands out as the most frequently studied specific DSM-V diagnosis. Notably, children with ADHD appear more susceptible to traumatic fractures, hinting at a need for extra vigilance and tailored postoperative guidance.(3)Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) draws the most attention among pediatric orthopaedic conditions; however, most AIS-focused studies address overall mental health rather than drilling into any single disorder-signaling a gap in targeted DSM-5-based research.(4)Among many PROs used, the scoliosis research society questionnaire and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System emerge as top picks for gauging overall functioning and mental wellness.
