The new guidelines do not call for controlled studies.
I just read the paper twice (I assume you mean the 2005 SRS Guidelines on Bracing Studies published in Spine)
The guidelines call for consistent parameters for future studies (inclusion criteria, standardization of reporting outcomes, etc).
The guidelines do not call for all future studies to be prospective (controlled)

You say, Some orthopods now throw out the early studies. I dont thnk they are throwing them out. They are looking at the data in totality to make an informed decision. Different orthoods (and parents) come to different conclusions.
I just dont want any other parent reading this to think that the existing research is "Garbage".
