Multimodal quantitative characterization and mechanistic exploration of paraspinal muscle groups in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Background: The mechanical properties of muscles and their interactions with three-dimensional spinal deformities are difficult to quantify with a single method. This study aimed to quantitatively characterize the paraspinal muscle groups in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using multimodal methods. Methods: The patients with AIS who received corrective surgery at our hospital from June 1, 2025, to August 31, 2025 were enrolled in this prospective study. Two independent evaluators used 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital radiography (DR) to analyze parameters in the bilateral paraspinal muscle groups. Results: This study enrolled 25 patients with AIS, including 15 cases with lumbar curvature and 10 with thoracic curvature. There were significant differences in the multimodal quantitative characterization of the convex and concave sides of scoliosis in AIS patients ( Conclusion: The quantitative assessment results of this exploratory study using MRI and DR methods showed that muscle asymmetry in the paraspinal muscles may interact with three-dimensional spinal deformity in patients with AIS.
