Three-Staged correction of severe congenital scoliosis with type I split cord malformation: a retrospective study without vertebral osteotomy.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo explore the safety and efficacy of three staged treatment for extremely severe congenital scoliosis (CS) with type Ⅰ split cord malformation (SCM).
methodsThe clinical data of 26 patients with extremely severe CS and type Ⅰ SCM were retrospectively analyzed. The height (cm), weight (kg), coronal and sagittal Cobb Angles (°), coronal and sagittal balances (cm), coronal and sagittal correction rates (%) were recorded at admission(A), before(B) and after(C) thoracoplasty + spinal instrumentation.
resultsAll the patients were followed up for three years. The heights at time A, B and C were 136.58 ± 9.60 cm, 146.27 ± 9.90 cm and 151.27 ± 9.51 cm respectively. The weights at time A, B and C were 40.02 ± 8.38 kg, 43.98 ± 7.18 kg and 43.33 ± 6.40 kg respectively. The coronal Cobb Angles at time A, B and C were 139.93 ± 21.58°, 84.82 ± 19.48°and 55.03 ± 18.35°respectively. The sagittal Cobb Angles at time A, B and C were 90.18 ± 23.56°, 64.05 ± 10.88°and 42.33 ± 8.88°respectively. The coronal balances at time A, B and C were 48.02 ± 33.11 cm, 22.75 ± 19.87 cm and 14.07 ± 13.71 cm respectively. The sagittal balances at time A, B and C were 37.41 ± 26.99 cm, 22.16 ± 22.03 cm and 12.61 ± 18.19 cm respectively. The coronal correction rates at time B and C were 39.19 ± 11.32% and 60.77 ± 12.14%. The sagittal correction rates at time B and C were 27.38 ± 13.70% and 50.73 ± 13.94%.
conclusionsThe three-staged treatment achieves significant spinal correction without 3-column osteotomy and addressing type I SCM in cases of extremely severe CS with Type I SCM.
