Fig 1 Detailed flowchart illustrating the trial search and selection of studies. RCT, randomized controlled trial; SMT, spinal manipulative therapy.

Fig 2 Number of RCTs that have examined the effects of spinal manipulative therapy for neck and low back pain, presented in the used time epochs of approximately 5 years. Note: The epochs refer to the year of publication and the years of the first and last epoch have been modified due to the size of the epochs.

Fig 3 Proportion of RCTs on spinal manipulative therapy for neck and low back pain, which fulfilled each of the risk of bias criteria (and thus have a low risk of bias), divided into the following: selection bias (a), performance bias (b), attrition bias(c), detection bias (d), and selective reporting bias (e). RCT, randomized controlled trial.

Fig 4 Proportion of RCTs on spinal manipulative therapy for neck and low back pain where each risk of bias criterion was rated unclear, divided into the following: selection bias (a), performance bias (b), attrition bias (c), detection bias (d), and selective reporting bias (e).
