The Effect of a Schroth Method-Based Exercise Program, on Enhancing the In-Brace Correction on Individuals with Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
Conservative treatment with a brace has shown significant improvement in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Initial in-brace correction can serve as a predictive factor for the treatment outcome. Additionally, significant data highlight the effectiveness of Schroth exercises. There is also evidence that the combination of Schroth and Bracing can provide a better treatment outcome. The study aimed to investigate the effect of a Schroth exercise program on the initial in-brace correction and in a 6-month follow-up in-brace radiological evaluation. Fifty children aged 10-17 years, diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis were divided into two groups: a treatment group (n = 25) and a control group (n = 25). The treatment group used a brace combined with a specialized Schroth exercise program. The control group used only bracing. Schroth-compatible braces were used by all the participants and bracing was prescribed for 18-22 hours daily. Schroth exercise was performed twice a week under supervision and 4 times at home. For the statistical analysis, 2-way ANOVA and paired t-test were used. The statistical analysis has shown a statistically significant group * time interaction (p = 0.015). According to the findings, a significant improvement was demonstrated in in-brace correction in the intervention group over a 6-month period. This indicates the effect of Schroth exercises in enhancing in-brace correction values over time.
