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

STUDY

designRetrospective cohort study with matched samples.

objectivesTo investigate whether significant differences in rehabilitation outcomes exist between different ethnic groups, using the Needs Assessment Checklist (NAC). SETTINGS: Tertiary care, spinal cord injury rehabilitation unit (National Spinal Injuries Centre), Stoke Mandeville Hospital, UK.

methodsRehabilitation outcomes and demographic information were obtained from the NAC. Data on 461 individuals were included in the study. Analysis of variance was employed to investigate differences in rehabilitation outcomes between various ethnic groups, across both the whole cohort and matched samples.

resultsSignificant differences were evident across the different rehabilitation domains when ethnicity was examined, in particular within the domains of physical healthcare and psychological well-being. Within the unmatched data set, significant differences were found to exist in 3 of the 10 rehabilitation domains, and with the matched data set within 4 of the 10 domains. The results indicated that the cohort as a whole made significant improvements from the first to the second NAC within all rehabilitation domains.

conclusionResults indicate that ethnicity may have an impact on rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injury. Further investigation is needed to explore the nature of this relationship, and the future role of targeted interventions focusing on improving rehabilitation outcomes within the domains of physical and psychological care, in particular for individuals from different ethnic backgrounds.
