Cardiopulmonary Consequences of Scoliosis and the Clinical Implications of VO
Review in Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America, 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
Introduction: Multiple parameters, including VO Materials and methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for eligible studies reporting cardiopulmonary outcomes in pediatric scoliosis. Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools and the ROBINS-I risk-of-bias tool. Results were synthesized narratively following the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis guideline. Conclusions: From 455 records, 6 studies met the inclusion criteria. Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis consistently demonstrated reduced aerobic capacity, with mean VO Key Concept: (1)Adolescents with scoliosis exhibit clinically meaningful reductions in cardiopulmonary reserve, which may not be apparent on resting spirometry but become evident during exercise and directly influence perioperative physiological resilience.(2)Radiographic measures of deformity correction do not reliably reflect functional recovery, underscoring the limitations of relying on Cobb angle and pulmonary function tests alone when assessing surgical readiness and postoperative outcomes.(3)Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides an objective, integrative assessment of surgical fitness, allowing differentiation between ventilatory, cardiovascular, and peripheral contributors to exercise limitation, with VO
