Recognizing Hong Kong Chiropractors' Sick Leave Authority: Valuing a Conservative Approach to Workers' Compensation.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Although registered under Hong Kong's legislative framework, chiropractors are not able to certify sick leave, restricting the effectiveness of their services for patients with musculoskeletal issues requiring time away from work. This paper explores the evolution of chiropractic regulation in Hong Kong, the growth of the profession, and the tardy recognition of chiropractors' power to issue sick leave certificates. The chiropractic profession and its patients have long lobbied for this authority, but the government has been slow to respond. This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and restrictions of allowing chiropractors prescriptive authority for sick leave and requests that this change in policy be considered. Developing responsible criteria for chiropractors to prescribe sick leave within their scope of practice could legitimize chiropractic's position in the population's health and interdisciplinary pain care while lowering the burden on injured workers.
