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

introductionNeurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) is a highly prevalent problem after spinal cord injury, with potential for significant impact on health and quality of life. The international standards to document remaining autonomic function after SCI were developed to standardize communication between professionals regarding neurogenic bowel and other autonomic function after SCI. To improve understanding of the bowel subsection, illustrative cases are presented. CASE PRESENTATION: Three cases are presented which illustrate differences in presentation and scoring of the elements in the data set based upon varying injury severity and location. DISCUSSION: Determination of neurologic level of injury is insufficient for assessment of autonomic function and there is no direct method of assessment. Hence, surrogate makers are needed. The bowel subsection of the International standards to document remaining autonomic function in persons with SCI is an easy-to-use tool for this purpose.
