Radiological and Clinical Effects of Exercise Intervention Therapy on Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Meta-analysis.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 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: To evaluate the radiological and clinical efficacy of exercise intervention therapy in improving Cobb angle, axial trunk rotation (ATR), axial vertebral rotation (AVR), and quality of life in adolescents with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: Literature was retrieved from databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, and PubMed, and screened according to inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. This is a meta-analysis based on a systematic review. RevMan 5.4 software was employed to calculate pooled effect sizes for Cobb angle, ATR, AVR, and the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) quality of life questionnaire. This systematic review was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. Results: Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Analysis revealed that compared with conventional interventions, exercise therapy significantly reduced Cobb angle [Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) = - 1.80, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) (- 2.61, - 0.98), Conclusion: Exercise intervention therapy significantly improves radiological parameters including Cobb angle and ATR, effectively improves physical function in AIS patients, and also significantly enhances their quality of life.
