Diplopia and tongue deviation following halo-pelvic traction for severe congenital scoliosis: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. 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
Objective: To report a case of diplopia and tongue deviation following halo-pelvic traction (HPT) in a patient with severe congenital scoliosis (CS) and to analyze the potential causes. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the patient's clinical data was conducted, including medical history, physical examination, imaging findings, treatment course, and outcomes. Results: A 12-year-old female with CS was admitted. After 40 days of traction (with a total longitudinal lengthening of approximately 12 cm), she developed painless horizontal diplopia and leftward deviation of the protruded tongue. Physical examination revealed limited abduction of the left eye and leftward deviation of the protruded tongue. Traction was discontinued, and neurotrophic therapy (including corticosteroids, mecobalamin, and B-complex vitamins) was initiated. Symptoms gradually resolved within 50 days, with complete resolution of diplopia and normalized tongue protrusion. Conclusion: Early recognition and discontinuation of traction, combined with multimodal therapy, may prevent permanent cranial nerve injury in patients undergoing HPT.
