The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: musings, observations and reflections after a half-century in chiropractic education.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2026. 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
The author reflects on experiences over a half-century of engagement in chiropractic education. Both positive and negative aspects of the profession's evolution are highlighted, including such areas as clinical education, diversity within chiropractic education, the importance of research, and the importance of gaining public trust through evidence-based practices. The paper concludes with a repeated call to action for the profession to be a major player in the solution to the global challenge of low back pain, which can be supported by integration with the healthcare-system-at-large as a trusted and valued team member.
