1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectiveApplying practice-based evidence research methodology to spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation requires taxonomy (typology or classification) of rehabilitation interventions provided by every discipline contributing to SCI rehabilitation. The rehabilitation field currently lacks such taxonomy.

methodsSCIRehab project researchers and clinicians representing 7 rehabilitation disciplines from 6 US inpatient SCI rehabilitation facilities worked in discipline groups during 2 face-to-face meetings and weekly discipline-specific teleconferences for 9 months to identify key contributions of each discipline to SCI rehabilitation and to develop a classification of treatment interventions used by each discipline. These clinician groups were charged with designing documentation systems that collected enough details to describe treatment adequately while not imposing an unrealistic data collection burden on clinicians. Completed documentation systems were programmed onto handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) to facilitate data entry by clinicians at the point of care.

resultsSeven discipline-specific SCI rehabilitation taxonomies were developed that describe and quantify intervention activities (major categories of treatment offered by the discipline) and the activity-specific details (variables deemed important to fully describe the interventional process). Much treatment information is unique to each discipline; some is common across disciplines.

conclusionsThe taxonomies provide a format with which clinicians document actual interventions performed with or for patients. The SCIRehab project has developed the first comprehensive multidisciplinary taxonomy for describing the details of the SCI rehabilitation process and designed a PDA-based documentation system based on that taxonomy that allows clinicians to describe the specifics of their interactions with their patients.
