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
Background: Lenke type 1 is the most common adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), and its sagittal morphology critically influences progression and treatment. However, its biomechanical characteristics across Roussouly types remain unclear. Purpose: To quantify the biomechanical responses of Lenke type 1 AIS under pure bending moments across different Roussouly classifications. Methods: This study was based on a validated thoracolumbar finite element model. Using mesh morphing, spinal alignments and vertebral rotations were adjusted to construct finite element models of Lenke type 1 AIS with Roussouly types 1-4. Simulations were conducted under ±7.5 Nm pure bending moments for flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation. Spinal range of motion (ROM) and intervertebral disc loadings-including force, moment, and Von Mises stress-were quantified. Results: Compared to the normal model, the AIS model showed asymmetrical total ROM at the T7-T12 segment, whereas the T1-S1 segment remained relatively symmetrical. At the T9-T10 and T12-L1 discs, shear and compressive forces increased markedly, with peak values of 197 N and secondary moments reaching ~2.8 Nm. Stress in the T9-T10 disc exhibited a distinct concave-side concentration, with the maximum Von Mises stress reaching 7.7 MPa. The T1-S1 ROM during extension, right bending, and right rotation in Roussouly 1 and 2 was ~10% greater than in Roussouly 3 and 4, with markedly higher shear and compressive forces (up to 50-fold) at the T6-T7 and T9-T10 discs. Regarding stress distribution, Von Mises stress at the T6-T7 and T9-T10 discs was higher in Roussouly 3 and 4, whereas stress at the T12-L1 disc was more pronounced in Roussouly 1 and 2. Conclusion: The findings underscore the critical role of sagittal morphology in AIS biomechanics. Compared to Roussouly 1 and 2, Roussouly 3 and 4 exhibited reduced ROM, lower disc forces, and more favorable stress distributions, suggesting a biomechanically advantageous load-bearing pattern.
