Prevalence of parenthood in wheelchair-dependent persons with long-term spinal cord injury in the Netherlands.
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
designMulticenter cross-sectional study.
objectivesTo determine the prevalence of parenthood in long-term wheelchair-dependent persons who sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI) during their reproductive years. Secondary aims were to (1) explore patient-specific and disease-related factors associated with parenthood after SCI; and (2) quantify fertility aids used by men with SCI.
settingEight specialized SCI rehabilitation centers in the Netherlands.
methodsQuestionnaires and physical examination were applied in 255 persons with SCI. Prevalence rates of parenthood among the general Dutch population were used for comparison. Logistic regression analyses were used to explore factors associated with parenthood after SCI.
resultsPrevalence of parenthood in SCI was 50% in men and 45% in women, which was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than rates in the general population (74% in men and 81% in women). Among the parents with SCI, most (66% of males and 72% of females) of them had children after SCI. Parenting children after SCI was associated with partnership (OR = 14.5, P < .001 [men]; OR = 3.7, P = .05 [women]), normal micturition (OR = 4.9, P = .02 [men]), incomplete lesion (OR = 5.4, P = .03 [women]), and paraplegia (OR = 7.3, P = .02 [women]). The most frequently used methods for ejaculation and fertilization were electroejaculation (29%) and intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (23%).
conclusionsPrevalence of parenthood in SCI persons is low. However, half of the persons with SCI do become parents, with most doing so following SCI. Demographic and disease-related factors may contribute to this.
