Efficacy analysis of modified halo-pelvic traction combined with pedicle subtraction osteotomy for severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Treatment of severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is challenging, and traditional halo-pelvic traction (HPT) presents multiple disadvantages. This study evaluated the efficacy of modified HPT combined with Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy (PSO). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 38 patients with severe AIS treated from January 2023 to May 2024. Sixteen patients (modified group) received modified HPT combined with PSO, and 22 patients (control group) underwent traditional HPT combined with PSO. Correction efficacy, pulmonary function, and complications were compared between groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding baseline characteristics before treatment ( Conclusion: Both modified and traditional HPT combined with PSO are effective and safe. The modified technique may offer additional advantages in sagittal plane correction and pulmonary function improvement, representing a viable alternative treatment for severe AIS. Further studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to validate these potential benefits.
