Redundant Nerve Root in a Patient With Chronic Lumbar Degenerative Canal Stenosis.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe purpose of this case report is to describe the diagnostic imaging features of redundant nerve roots caused by chronic lumbar degenerative canal stenosis (CLDCS). CLINICAL FEATURES: A 56-year-old male presented with severe low back pain. He experienced pain during minimal active lumbar range of motion. The patient demonstrated weakness of the right iliopsoas and hypoesthesia of the L-2 dermatome. A working diagnosis of CLDCS was established. The patient's worsening severe low back pain warranted magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine, which was performed for further evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated disk protrusion and canal stenosis with tortuosity of the cauda equina consistent with redundant nerve root appearance. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: The patient was treated with chiropractic flexion distraction, which was followed by a course of acupuncture and spinal manipulation. The patient self-discharged following clinical improvement.
conclusionsThis case demonstrated CLDCS with associated redundant nerve roots. Conservative treatment included chiropractic diversified lumbar spinal manipulation, acupuncture, and electrical stimulation. The patient self-discharged following clinical improvement in 3 months.
