A latent structural equation model of risk behaviors and pressure ulcer outcomes among people with spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
STUDY
designCross-sectional.
objectiveOur purpose was to develop a latent structural model to demonstrate the relationship between factor structures of risk health behaviors and pressure ulcer (PrU) outcomes among participants with spinal cord injury (SCI).
settingData were collected at a large specialty hospital and analyzed at a medical university in the Southeastern USA.
methodsIn total, 1871 participants with traumatic SCI of at least 1-year duration were recruited. Four latent risk behavior indicators were developed and further linked with a higher dimension which is classified as the risk dimension. A latent PrU variable was created and measured by four observable PrU-related outcomes. Latent structural equation modeling was performed to assess the relationship between the latent risk behavior and the latent PrU outcome. Several exogenous variables were also included in the structural equation model.
resultsThe risk behavior dimension had a significant direct effect on the latent PrU (direct effect=0.323, P<0.01). All direct relationships between the risk behavior dimension and risk behaviors were also significant (r
conclusionsThe overall findings of this study suggest the need to reduce risk behaviors to prevent adverse PrU outcomes. The risk of PrU outcomes is especially high among people who are African American, have higher level of SCI and have longer time since SCI.
