Shaping conservative spinal services with the Spine Tango Registry.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2018.

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
purposeThis study reports the results of a registry data collection project within a secondary care spinal osteopathy service.
methodsClinical and demographic data were collected using the Spine Tango Conservative registry data collection tool. Outcomes were assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Neck Disability Index (NDI), COMI Low Back Conservative (COMI-LBC), COMI Neck Conservative (COMI-NC) and EQ5D. Global treatment outcome (GTO), satisfaction with care and therapeutic complications were reported using the Spine Tango Patient Self Assessment form (STPSA). The correlation of GTO and PROM change scores was analysed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.
results262 patients presented during the study period. 100% of patients had chronic spinal pain and 98.8% had previously received other interventions for the same episode. Mean (standard deviation) improvements by PROM: NPRS low back 2.1 (2.5); NPRS neck 2.3 (2.3); COMI-LBC 2.1 (2.2); COMI-NC 2.0 (1.7); ODI 10.5 (12.1); NDI 14.5 (12.2); EQ5D 0.2 (0.3). 83.2% of patients reported that osteopathy had 'helped a lot' or 'helped'. 96.2% of patients were 'very satisfied' or 'satisfied' with care. There were no serious therapeutic complications.
conclusionsThe secondary care spinal osteopathy service demonstrated high satisfaction, few therapeutic complications and positive outcomes on all PROMs. Registry participation has facilitated robust clinical governance and the data support the use of osteopaths to deliver a conservative spinal service in this setting. Registry data collection is a significant administrative and clinical task which should be structured to minimise burden on patients and resources.
