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
Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe chiropractic management of a patient with neck pain, cervical kyphosis, cervical radiculopathy, and resting tremors of the left arm. Clinical Features: A 58-year-old White male presented with an insidious onset of severe neck pain and burning pain down the left arm with accompanying involuntary resting tremors of the left arm. The pain and tremors limited his ability to sit, walk, work, drive, sleep, and perform household chores, with driving and sleeping reportedly being the most substantial activities affected. Clinical testing revealed left cervical radiculopathy with severe myospasm in the scalene and levator scapulae muscles. Radiographs revealed reversed cervical curvature and degenerative spondylosis with neural foraminal encroachment at C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7. Intervention and Outcome: The patient was initially managed with soft tissue therapy to the upper trapezius and levator scapulae, and gentle manual cervical traction for 4 visits over the course of 1 week. This was followed by incorporation of cervical spinal manipulation using low force adjustments, manual cervical traction, and thoracic spinal manipulation using diversified technique 3 times a week for 3 additional weeks. After active treatment, a monthly maintenance plan was prescribed. At the start of treatment, the Numeric Pain Rating (NPR) was recorded at 8/10, and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) Score was 26%. At 1- and 2-year follow-ups, NPR was recorded as 0/10 and 0/10, respectively, and NDI Score was 4% and 0%, respectively. Conclusion: Neck and arm pain and debilitating tremors resolved in a patient who received chiropractic care. These improvements were maintained 2 years after the start of treatment.
