Cervicogenic Dizziness After Self-Manipulation of the Cervical Spine.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Patients with pre-existing cervical pathologies who experience dizziness and related neck pain are referred to as having cervicogenic dizziness. We describe a case of a 49-year-old female who presented with acute onset of vertigo and imbalance following self-manipulation of the cervical spine. Examination revealed a restricted cervical range of motion, muscle hypertonicity, and positive neurological signs. Radiographs demonstrated loss of normal cervical lordosis. The patient was diagnosed with cervicogenic dizziness and prescribed chiropractic treatments that included spinal manipulation, soft tissue release, and rehabilitative exercises. After four weeks of care, her symptoms had improved. At the six-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with a full cervical range of motion. This case highlights the risks associated with neck manipulation and the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for cervicogenic dizziness. Patients should be counseled to seek evaluation and treatment from appropriate medical professionals for neck issues or dizziness/imbalance.
