Network and rank probability plots for change of Cobb angle and incidence of complications. For the network plots: the size of the node corresponds to the total sample size of treatments, directly comparable treatments are linked with a line, and the thickness of which represents the number of trials that were compared. ASR + PSF: combined anterior release and posterior fusion with instrumentation; VAT+PSF: combined video assisted anterior release and posterior fusion with instrumentation without thoracoplasty; PSF: posterior fusion with instrumentation without thoracoplasty; ASF: anterior fusion with instrumentation and thoracotomy without thoracoplasty; VAT: video assisted anterior fusion with instrumentation without thoracoplasty; WT: any scoliosis surgery with additional thoracoplasty or multiple convex rib resections
