Case Report: Surgical correction of Lenke 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a single rod instrumentation.
Article in Frontiers in 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
introductionPosterior spinal fusion is the current gold standard for severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Less invasive techniques have recently gained interest. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old female with Lenke 1 AIS (65° thoracic curve) underwent unilateral pedicle screw fixation and posterior fusion via a minimally invasive approach. Surgery lasted 100 min with 200 mL blood loss. Hospitalization was 3 days with minimal postoperative pain.
resultsImmediate postoperative x-rays showed correction to 18° (72.3%). Follow-up at 3 years demonstrated stable correction, no mechanical or infectious complications, and complete patient satisfaction. Hypothesis-generating: This case suggests unilateral fusion may be a safe, effective, less invasive alternative in selected Lenke 1 AIS patients. Further studies are required.
