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
objectiveTo explore the correlation between scoliosis and mandibular deviation by analyzing the degree and direction of coronal trunk imbalance and maxillofacial deviation in patients with idiopathic and congenital scoliosis.
methodsA total of 68 patients(scoliosis group), among whom 33 adolescents were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis(IS group) and 35 congenital scoliosis(CS group),and 21 orthopedically healthy adolescents volunteers served as control group were involved in this survey. All the patients and volunteers were undertaken the coronal full-length X-ray radiographs of spine and craniofacial CBCT. Landmarks and lines were recorded to measure these films. ANOVA LSD test was applied to evaluate the difference between mandibular deviation and trunk balance among three groups. The relationship of spine coronal morphology, trunk balance and mandibular deviation was evaluated with the Pearson correlation method.
resultsThe degree of mandibular deviation in both IS and CS groups were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). And significant difference could be found among the three groups in all the five parameters of trunk imbalance. The oblique angle of cervical spine were 5.25±3.94°and 5.99±4.65°in ISG and CSG respectively, which were significantly higher (P=0.001
conclusionPatients with scoliosis have varying degrees of mandibular deviation and body posture imbalance. The direction of mandibular deviation was opposite to the direction of oblique cervical spine and the same to the higher side of imbalanced shoulder. There is a correlation between mandibular development and the abnormal posture of the neck and shoulder, suggesting that multidisciplinary early detection, evaluation and treatment for scoliotic patients or high risk population is necessary.
