Prevalence of low mobility and self-management self-efficacy in manual wheelchair users and the association with wheelchair skills.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence of low wheelchair-mobility and self-management self-efficacy and to evaluate the association with wheelchair skills.
designCross-sectional.
settingCommunity.
participantsCommunity-dwelling manual wheelchair users (N=123) who were ≥50 years of age (mean, 59.7±7.5y) and from British Columbia and Quebec, Canada.
interventionsNone.
main outcome measuresThe 13-item mobility and 8-item self-management subscales from the Wheelchair Use Confidence Scale-Short Form (standardized scores range, 0-100) measured self-efficacy, and the 32-item Wheelchair Skills Test, Questionnaire Version (scores range, 0-100) measured wheelchair skills. A score of 50 was used to differentiate individuals with high and low self-efficacy, and a score of 72 differentiated between high and low wheelchair skills.
resultsThe prevalence of low wheelchair-mobility and self-management self-efficacy was 28.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 20.6-36.4) and 11.4% (95% CI, 5.8-17.0), respectively, and their bivariate association with wheelchair skills was r=.70 and r=.39, respectively. Of the sample, 16% reported conflicting mobility self-efficacy and skill scores; 25% reported low self-efficacy and high skills. Of the participants, 30% reported conflicting scores between self-management self-efficacy and wheelchair skills, with 8.1% reporting lower self-efficacy than skill.
conclusionsLow self-efficacy was relatively high in this sample as was its discordance with wheelchair skills. Interventions to address low self-efficacy and/or offset the discordant self-efficacy/skill profiles are warranted.
