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

purposeTo present an innovative technique to correct a complex spinopelvic deformity by addressing the main sagittal deformity within the sacroiliac joints.

methodsClinical case report of a 17-year-old female twin with a complex spine deformity in a VACTERL syndrome. Surgery involved ligament release and mobilization within the sacroiliac joints, followed by rotation of the sacrum in the sagittal plane and combined with correction of lumbar hyperlordosis.

resultsPosture was significantly improved immediately after surgery and maintained 3 years postop.

conclusionLigament release, mobilization within the sacroiliac joints, and sacrum repositioning are proposed as an innovative technique to correct a complex spine deformity with its origin within the pelvis.
