A case series of reduced urinary incontinence in elderly patients following chiropractic manipulation.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThis report presents a spinal adjustment approach to treat elderly patients with urinary incontinence.
methodsThis retrospective case series reports the clinical observation of 13 patients with urinary incontinence. They were treated for 1-8 weeks with Pro-Adjuster technique without any other additional drug and physical therapy treatment. The primary outcome measure for this analysis was the frequency of nocturia reported by the patients during each office visit to the chiropractor. Bladder control was reported by the patients as frequency of nocturia or the urgency of urination or instances of leakage, and the number of pad changes per day or a return of the sense of urinary urge.
resultsA total of 13 patients' data (6 female, mean ages 65.7 +/- 12.9 years) were included in the study. After 1-8 weeks of chiropractic adjustments, the urinary frequency at night was significantly reduced from 3.8 to 1.2 time a night (P < 0.001). Three patients improved bladder control with only 2 adjustments.
conclusionThe Pro-adjuster treatment program seemed to reduce nocturia in patients with urinary incontinence.
