| Summary of Findings | The authors highlight that the outcomes used in the systematic overview of systematic reviews of spinal manipulation published in 2006, are not directly clinically relevant to the condition being treated and that the author of the overview is also the author of many included systematic reviews, which may lead to author bias. The authors question the validity of an overview conducted on systematic reviews of one's own design. |
