Reduction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Utilizing the Labyrinthine Righting Reflex: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains a significant clinical challenge due to limited nonsurgical interventions and inconsistent treatment protocols. Current standard practices, including observation, rigid bracing, and spinal fusion surgery, often overlook patients with mild to moderate curvature, contributing to progression and decreased quality of life. This retrospective single case report evaluates a nonsurgical treatment integrating a cantilever traction system, weekly spinal mobilization, and reflexive engagement of the labyrinthine righting reflex (LRR) in an adolescent female patient. Following three months of intervention, the patient's mild Cobb angle reduced from 10.9° to 3.8°, accompanied by clinical improvements in posture, neuromuscular balance, and proprioceptive awareness. These observations suggest the potential of integrated conservative interventions addressing existing gaps in scoliosis care, particularly for mild AIS patients.
