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

The normal structure of the spinal vertebrae is important for maintaining posture and the normal function of the thoracoabdominal organs and nervous system. Kyphoscoliosis occurs when the spinal vertebrae curve excessively beyond their physiological curvature to the back and side. Congenital kyphoscoliosis, a type of kyphoscoliosis, develops in the fetal period and is present in early childhood. However, neither the mechanism of pathogenesis nor the responsible gene has been identified. The lack of established animal models is a significant hurdle that limits the study of congenital kyphoscoliosis. Over the past 15 years, we have been accumulating data on this issue using rat models, based on the idea that the development of congenital kyphoscoliosis is caused by the abnormal expression of genes involved in normal bone formation. We hypothesize that analysis of an animal model of congenital kyphoscoliosis will provide a basis for the treatment of this disease in humans. The present review aimed to introduce molecules and mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis of kyphoscoliosis and to discuss the usefulness of studying this disease using model rats that develop kyphoscoliosis.
