Effect of sensory integration training combined with Schroth therapy on adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis: a 12-week randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorial three-dimensional spinal deformity whose pathogenesis remains not fully understood. While cardiopulmonary compromise may occur in severe thoracic curves, mild AIS more commonly affects adolescents' physical appearance and psychological well-being.
objectivesThis study aimed to examine the impact of sensory integration training combined with Schroth therapy on adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis and to furnish more evidence for the clinical management of this condition.
methodsSixty-two adolescents (ages 10 to 18, 26.67% male) diagnosed with mild idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb angle 10-25°) were recruited and randomly allocated into an intervention group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 31). The intervention group received a combined therapy (60-min Schroth + 30-min sensory integration) per session, while the control group received 90 min of Schroth therapy alone. The treatment period lasted 12 weeks for both groups. The trunk rotation angle (ATR), Cobb's angle, spinal mobility, and the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire were evaluated at baseline and post-intervention.
resultsNo significant differences in outcomes were observed between the two groups at baseline (P > 0.05). After the 12-week intervention, Cobb angle, ATR, spinal mobility, and SRS-22 scores significantly improved in both groups compared to pre-treatment values (P < 0.05). The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in all outcomes compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionsFor adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis, the combination of sensory integration training and Schroth therapy is more effective than Schroth therapy alone in reducing the Cobb angle and ATR, improving spinal mobility, and enhancing quality of life.
