An L2/3 Disc Herniation-Related L5 Radiculopathy.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The key factors contributing to radiculopathy caused by lumbar disc herniation include mechanical compression. It was commonly believed that the disc herniation causes the compression on the nerve root exiting under the pedicle of the vertebral body at the adjacent inferior level. However, a disc herniation might occasionally result in non-adjacent, isolated radicular symptoms. We report the case of a 74-year-old female who presented with a 2-years history of progressive low back pain associated with L5 radiculopathy and reduced quality of life. The patient had undergone a magnetic resonance image showing a large L2/3 disc herniation. Symptoms had progressively worsened and failed to respond to conservative treatments including pain medication, exercise rehabilitation, and acupuncture at the lower lumbar region. The patient was diagnosed with L5 radiculopathy caused by L2/3 disc herniation. Consequently, her symptoms improved with chiropractic rehabilitation which involved spinal manipulative therapy and intermittent motorized traction at the L2/3 level to reduce herniated disc. Therefore, an L2/3 Disc herniation-related L5 radiculopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases of inconsistency of level of disc herniation and nerve root pattern.
