A latent structural analysis of health behaviors among people living with spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 study.
objectivesTo develop a latent structural model of health behaviors among people with spinal cord injury (SCI) that accounts for measurement of underlying factors and their association with demographic and injury-related variables.
settingThe data were collected at a large specialty hospital and analyzed at a medical university in the Southeastern United States.
methodsA total of 1871 participants with traumatic SCI of at least 1-year duration were included. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify the latent health behavior structures. Several key exogenous variables were also linked with the latent health behavior factors.
resultsFive latent health behavior factors were identified by the EFA with excellent model fit (root mean square error of approximation = 0.043). These latent factors included (1) medication non-compliance, (2) prescription medication and substance use, (3) smoking, (4) alcohol consumption, and (5) healthy lifestyle activities and participation. Sex, race/ethnicity, age, years since injury, and injury severity were all significantly associated with at least one latent health behavior factor. For instance, men scored higher in smoking and alcohol consumption, whereas women scored higher in prescription medication and substance use. Non-whites scored higher on the medication non-compliance dimension and lower on the healthy lifestyle activities and participation dimension.
conclusionsUtilization of latent health behavior factors provides more stable and comprehensive composite scores than does a single observed health behavior indicator. There are important differences in behaviors based on individual characteristics.
