Spinal cord injury in pediatric age in Spain. Reality of a national reference center.

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
unlabelledThe aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and the main characteristics of ambulant children with spinal cord injury (SCI) treated at the Unit of Biomechanics and Technical Assistance, at the National Spinal Cord Injury Hospital in Toledo, Spain. To date, there are no detailed studies on the effects of this disease in children regarding their walking ability. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective study was performed including all patients attending the unit between January 2006 and December 2013, who were aged 18 years or younger and who were outpatients able to walk independently for at least 10 m, with or without technical aids.
resultsForty-eight patients were included in this study (25 males and 23 females) aged between 2 and 18 years (mean age, 12 ± 2.31 years). The etiology of SCI ranged between congenital (33.33%), traumatic (29.16%), and neoplastic (8.33%), and the level of injury varied between cervical (31.25%), lumbar (29.16%), a non-spinal origin (20.83%), dorsal (16.66%), and sacral (2.08%). The mean score on the Barthel Index was 82.61, the mean value of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) locomotion score was 6.4, and 29 patients did not require the use of walking aids (WISCI 20).
conclusionThe findings of this study contribute to the knowledge regarding the situation of children with SCI in Spain. The incidence of pediatric SCI is very low; however, the provision of care remains a personal and social challenge.
