Effect of Chiropractic Care on Auditory Attention in Healthy Individuals: An Analysis of the P300 Event-Related Potentials Component.

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: The effect of chiropractic care on auditory attention, as measured by event-related potentials (ERP), has not been examined in healthy young adults. This study aimed to assess the impact of a single chiropractic session on auditory attention by analysing the amplitude and latency of the P300 ERP component within the auditory oddball paradigm in healthy adults. Methods: Twenty-eight healthy adults participated in this chiropractic intervention study. ERP experiments were performed both before (pre-group) and one week after (post-group) a single chiropractic care session. During the experiments, a 64-channel electroencephalography (EEG)/ERP cap was used, and participants silently counted the target tone while disregarding standard tones. The amplitude and latency of the P300 ERP component were analysed using a standardised 10-20 EEG system across 19 electrode channels. A non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test (pairwise) was used to compare data groups. Results: The topographic map distribution revealed a widespread pattern during standard stimuli and a more localised pattern during target stimuli in the post-group than in the pre-group. Significantly higher P300 amplitudes were observed at Cz ( Conclusion: Higher P300 amplitudes and shorter P300 latencies indicated improved attention. This evidence suggests that chiropractic care may enhance auditory attention in healthy individuals. However, its clinical importance remains uncertain. Therefore, it is premature to recommend chiropractic care as a treatment for boosting auditory attention.
