Chiropractic management of lumbar spinal epidural lipomatosis in a U.S. Veterans Affairs clinic: a report of two cases.

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
Background: Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare contributor of low back pain (LBP) that can present with or without radicular symptoms. Case Presentation: A 51-year-old and 65-year-old male presented with chronic LBP to the Veterans Affairs chiropractic clinic for a trial of care. One had a moderate degree of lumbar spinal stenosis with known SEL and the other had severe. The patient with moderate grade stenosis responded favorably with weeks of transient benefit after visits and the patient with severe grade did not find benefit with care. Summary: SEL is a condition that conservative care providers should be aware of as a potential cause of central canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. Chiropractic management of SEL has been scarcely reflected in the published literature, but may be a viable option for transient symptom management.
