Overview of conditions seen on a Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College outreach to the Dominican Republic.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

methodsData was extracted from templated patient files retrospectively.
resultsSpinal, extremity and other/whole body chief complaints accounted for 71.79%, 24.64% and 3.57% respectively in patients ranging in age from 1.5 to 106 years whose data was collected. Mechanical pain accounted for 95.07% of all cervical, 96.81% of thoracic and 91.27% of lumbar spine diagnoses. Various non-mechanical conditions were also encountered.Manual therapy was performed in 96.10% of cases. Twenty referrals were made to urgent care, six to a World Spine Care clinic and 46 for further investigation, including local medical doctors or surgery.
