1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The German Society for Manual Medicine no longer demands mandatory X‑ray diagnostics prior to high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulation. Indication is based on the general justification as a result of anamnesis and clinical examination. With appropriate indications, imaging primarily serves to exclude contraindications. The use of X‑ray diagnostics to determine the treatment technique or direction is obsolete, especially in infants. Detection of segmental dysfunction as the therapeutic indication is of scientific interest only. Other possible objectives of imaging are detection of a non-functional cause of pain or prediction of therapeutic success. In either case, study results to date contradict general imaging, as there is no significant correlation between detected changes and existing or developing pain. In particular, the significance of a Modic lesion is still to be regarded as open according to studies to date.
