Association Between Time to Rehabilitation and Outcomes After Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 examine the relations between time to rehabilitation after spinal cord injury (SCI) and rehabilitation outcomes at discharge and 1-year postinjury.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingFacilities designated as Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems.
participantsPatients (N=3937) experiencing traumatic SCI between 2000 and 2014, who were 18 years or older, and who were admitted to a model system within 24 hours of injury.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresRasch-transformed FIM motor score at discharge and 1-year postinjury, discharge to a private residence, and the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART) Physical Independence and Mobility scores at 1-year postinjury.
resultsAfter accounting for health status, a 10% increase in time to rehabilitation was associated with a 1.50 lower FIM motor score at discharge (95% confidence interval [CI], -2.43 to -0.58; P=.001) and a 3.92 lower CHART Physical Independence score at 1-year postinjury (95% CI, -7.66 to -0.19; P=.04). Compared to the mean FIM motor score (37.5) and mean CHART Physical Independence score (74.7), the above-mentioned values represent relative declines of 4.0% and 5.3%, respectively. There was no association between time to rehabilitation and discharge to a private residence, 1-year FIM motor score, or the CHART mobility score.
conclusionsEarlier rehabilitation after traumatic SCI may improve patients' functional status at discharge.
