Practical guide to structuring the Methods and Results sections in clinical and epidemiological studies.
Article in Chiropractic & manual therapies, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This is the second of three articles that provide step-by-step guides on how to structure the content of a scientific article to ensure a coherent and relevant text. This article deals with the Methods and Results sections. We start by explaining the purpose and content of these sections and then provide a practical guide for planning the structure of each section as preparation for writing the full text later. Thus, we describe ten steps for structuring the Methods section and six steps for structuring the Results section. We illustrate our explanations with text examples selected from this journal to show how authors have approached various aspects of these two sections. After some tips for constructing informative tables and figures, we discuss the use of artificial intelligence when preparing the Methods and Results sections. The Methods section is fundamental to your reader understanding your study and trusting the validity of your findings, while the Results section provides answers to your stated research objectives or questions. Transparency and completeness are essential in both sections to assist your reader and reflect your academic integrity.
