1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study is focused entirely on the changes in self-image scores which occur when spinal deformity surgery is performed for primary (AdIS) and revision (rAdIS) patients with adult idiopathic scoliosis, by an all-posterior approach.

methodsSingle-surgeon, single-center retrospective review of a consecutive series of adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS) patients treated with posterior spinal fusion (PSF) from 2015 to 2022. Patient-reported SRS-22 Self-Image, radiographic, and perioperative outcomes were recorded preoperatively and at 2-year follow-up. Patients undergoing primary surgery (AdIS) were compared to revision surgery (rAdIS) patients.

results123 patients were included, 75 primary (AdIS) and 48 revision (rAdIS) patients. Primary AdIS patients had larger preoperative major coronal curve magnitude (63° vs. 49

conclusionPrimary and revision AdIS patients had similar preoperative self-image scores, though larger coronal curves were seen in the primary patients, and more positive sagittal alignment were seen in the revision patients. Primary patients experienced greater improvement in self-image scores following PSF. Although global sagittal correction is achieved after revision surgery, the coronal correction obtained after primary surgery may play a larger role in self-image improvement.
