1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 Longitudinal Study.

objectives(1) To determine whether the Spinal Cord Injury Activities of Daily Living (SCI_ADL) measure shows adequate item-level and precision psychometrics; (2) to investigate whether the SCI_ADL measure effectively detects ADL changes across time; (3) to describe self-care task(s) participants can and cannot do across time.

settingTwo Midwestern hospitals and 1 Southeastern specialty hospital in 1993.

methodsAll participants were adults with traumatic SCI of at least 1-year duration at enrollment. We used 20-year (1993-2013) retrospective longitudinal data and categorized participants into three injury levels: C1-C4 (cervical; n=50), C5-C8 (n=126) and T1-S5 (thoracic, lumbar and sacral; n=168). We first examined psychometrics of the SCI_ADL with factor and Rasch analyses; then we investigated longitudinal change of SCI_ADL scores at three time points over 20 years (1993, 2003 and 2013) using generalized linear mixed modeling and post hoc analyses.

resultsThe SCI_ADL measure demonstrated unidimensionality, person strata of 2.9, high Cronbach's α (0.93) and fair person reliability (0.76). T1-S5 had the highest measures, following C5-C8 and C1-C4 at three time points (P<0.05). The C1-C4 and T1-S5 groups showed significant decreases from 2003 to 2013; however, none of the three groups showed significant differences from 1993 to 2003 (P<0.05).

conclusionsThe SCI_ADL measure could detect longitudinal ADL changes of the population with SCI across time. The C1-C4 group decreased the most in ADLs, indicating higher need of long-term services and rehabilitation.
