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 smallest worthwhile effect (SWE) is the smallest beneficial effect of an intervention that justifies the costs, risks, and inconveniences. The objective is to establish the SWE of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) for the treatment of low back pain (LBP), and to gain insight into how different attributes of the treatment are traded among each other when choosing SMT. Part 1. A mixed-methods study will be conducted to establish and prioritize a list of attributes influencing choices for those who consider SMT for the treatment of LBP. Individual interviews and consensus groups with chiropractors, manual therapists, and osteopaths and their patients will be conducted. Interviews and consensus groups will be voice-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Part 2. A Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) will be conducted among people with LBP who have limited to no experience with SMT. Participants will be recruited through an online independent panel company. The survey will consist of several choice sets with attributes and their levels established from Part 1. The DCE will be preceded by a short survey to understand the clinical aspects (i.e. presentation, history and previous treatment for LBP) as well as socio-demographic characteristics of the participants.
