Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The current study aimed to assess and rank the comparative efficacy of different nonoperative treatments on Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, and quality of life for mild-to-moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. A comprehensive search of databases, including Medline, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science spanning all previous years up to January 1, 2024. The included studies were evaluated for literature quality according to Cochrane Handbook criteria, and a network meta-analysis was performed using STATA 14.0 statistical software. Twenty randomized controlled trials met all inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Schroth exercise and scoliosis-specific exercise combined with brace treatments had a significant positive effect on Cobb angle and quality of life. For angle of trunk rotation, Schroth exercise and Schroth exercise combined with brace treatments prove more effective compared to the control group. On surface-under-the-cumulative-ranking-curve analysis, Schroth exercise combined with brace treatment had the highest likelihood for reducing Cobb angle (P-score = 0.899), angle of trunk rotation (0.82), and improving quality of life (0.828). Although most conservative treatments had benefits for mild-to-moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the most optimal programs were those that included (1) at least 10 weeks of approximately 60-minute Schroth exercise sessions twice a week and (2) wearing the brace for 23 hours every day throughout the treatment period.
