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

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spinal deformity, yet its precise etiology remains elusive. Our previous research highlighted the pivotal role of the asymmetrical ESR1 expression of paraspinal muscle stem/progenitor cells in the progression of AIS. However, the widespread distribution of ESR1 in various organs and tissues limits its safety and efficacy as a therapeutic target. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the regulatory mechanisms governing the asymmetric ESR1 expression in paraspinal muscle stem/progenitor cells to identify safer and more effective treatment strategies for AIS. Here we discovered elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the concave paraspinal muscles of patients with AIS. The increased ROS decreased the expression of m
