Participation restriction and assistance needs in people with spinal cord injuries of more than 40 year duration.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06154122 (The Feasibility of Virtual Reality-Based Activities for Upper Limb Rehabilitation of People With Acute/Sub-Acute Tetraplegia), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
STUDY
designProspective observational.
objectivesExamine changes in participation restriction and assistance needs in a sample of people with long-standing spinal cord injuries (SCIs).
settingTwo British spinal centres.
methodsThe sample consisted of British ageing with SCI study participants who were seen at baseline (1990 or 1993) and in the final follow-up (2010). Outcome measures were the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique-Short Form (CHART-SF) and interview questions about assistance needs.
resultsEighty-five Ageing study participants took part in 2010; their mean age was 67.65 years and the mean time since injury was 46.26 years. The mean CHART-SF physical independence subscore decreased from 97.44 in 1990 to 91.26 in 2010, mobility from 95.58 to 82.10, occupation from 86.82 to 64.49 and social integration from 96.29 to 88.68 (all
conclusionsAn increase in participation restriction and in assistance needs was reported over the 20 year follow-up in persons injured more than 40 years ago. SCI severity was the main risk factor for needing more assistance. Clinical awareness of how participation changes with age may help provide timely intervention and offset declines.
