Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2025. 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.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore chiropractors' utilization methods, types of supplements advised, and their influence in managing musculoskeletal conditions in runners. Methodology: This was a qualitative, exploratory descriptive study. Fifteen South African chiropractors with a minimum of 3 years' experience, who treat runners and recommend nutritional supplements, were interviewed. Data collection took place over about 5 weeks, between July and September 2023. Data were analyzed using Tesch's method for themes and sub-themes. Results: Four main themes emerged, revealing chiropractors' active use of supplements for runners, diverse supplement recommendations, improved treatment outcomes, enhanced recovery and performance, and reduced injury rates. Holistic management of runners was evident. Conclusion: This study offered insights into South African chiropractors' selection, prescription, and dispensation of supplements for runners, revealing recommendations for both musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal conditions.
