Decade-Long Progress of a Patient with Early Onset Scoliosis Treated with Serial Casting, Traditional Growth Rods and Posterior Spinal Instrumentation with Fusion - a Case Report.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 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
Early-onset scoliosis poses unique challenges for spinal and pediatric surgeons, as well as clinicians. Without intervention in pediatric patients, the spinal curvature may worsen, leading to abnormal thoracic cage growth, leading to abnormal lung development and poor respiratory tolerance. Treatment aims to correct the deformity while preserving the spinal mobility during growth. This is important because the growing spine will allow the child to achieve optimal height, a healthy thoracic cage, and cardiopulmonary system development. We can divide treatment modalities into observation, serial casting, bracing, and surgery. We are presenting a decade long progress report of a patient who initially underwent treatment with serial casting, growing rods, and definitive fixation for early-onset scoliosis. We strive to illustrate the complexities of early-onset scoliosis treatment by progressing from bracing to the application of a growth-friendly rod system, and finally to definitive posterior instrumentation.
