Ontario chiropractor's knowledge of exercise guidelines for pregnant patients.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo describe the Ontario chiropractors' knowledge regarding the current guidelines for exercise during pregnancy through a knowledge score and exploring its distribution across different strata of interest including gender, experience, location of practice and type of practice.
methodsA previously used survey was modified and sent to 500 randomly selected Ontario chiropractors. Demographic and continuing education questions were included, and the knowledge score was calculated using 10 items.
resultsThe differences between the knowledge score values across the four strata of interest were not statistically significant. The average knowledge score in the sample of respondents was low (5.2 out of 10) and highly variable (SD=1.8).
conclusionThe average knowledge score of the respondents was found to be low and highly variable but not statistically or practically different across various strata of interest. A well-designed curriculum or post-graduate courses may be beneficial for practicing chiropractors in Ontario.
