The analysis of serum lipid levels in patients with spinal cord injury.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 study.
objectivesThe purposes of this investigation were to evaluate the serum lipid profile among a broad sample of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), examining the impact of disease duration, lesion level, lesion grade and functional activity level on serum lipid levels of patients with SCI.
settingAnkara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Turkey.
methodsSerum lipid profiles of 269 participants with SCI were analyzed and correlated to disease duration, lesion level, lesion grade and ambulation status.
resultsTotal cholesterol (TC) was higher than normal in 21.2%, low density lipoprotein cholesterol in 24.4%, and triglycerides levels in 31% of the patients. The high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) level was found to be lower than 40 mg/dl in 79.5% of the patients, TC/HDL-c ratio was 4.5 and above in 65.7% of the patients in our study. TC/HDL-c ratio was significantly higher in patients with SCI with a disease duration of 0-12 months than the group with a longer disease duration (P = 0.009). TC/HDL-c ratio was significantly higher in patients who could not be community ambulated than the patients who were community ambulated (P = 0.005). HDL-c levels in patients with motor complete SCI were significantly lower than patients with motor incomplete SCI (P = 0.028).
conclusionDyslipidemia is observed in a large number of patients with SCI. The risk of dyslipidemia was seen to have increased in motor complete SCI patients, in patients who can not be community ambulated and whose disease duration is between 0 to 12 months.
