From: An epidemiological examination of the subluxation construct using Hill's criteria of causation
 | Criteria | Result |
---|---|---|
1 | Strength | There were no studies that found a relative risk or odds ratio linking subluxation |
2 | Consistency | Subluxation has not been noted to be consistently found across any studies in different people, places, circumstances or time. |
3 | Specificity | There were no studies that linked disease with subluxation of any specificity. Other exposures (variables) or explanations can be given to the disease complex. |
4 | Temporal sequence | There were no studies suggestive of a temporal sequence linking subluxation with disease |
5 | Dose response | There were no studies found linking incidence of disease with magnitude of the subluxation |
6 | Experimental evidence | There were no consistent studies demonstrating subluxation in the animal model |
7 | Biological plausibility | No studies were found that offered reproducible evidence to suggest a biological plausibility of the subluxation construct. |
8 | Coherence | There were no studies that indicated a credible level of coherence |
9 | Analogy | There were no studies suggestive of a casual association via a similar agent. |
