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 gain insights into fracture rate and musculoskeletal ailments among Norwegians with a spinal cord injury (SCI) acquired more than 20 years ago. SETTINGS: Sunnaas Hospital, Nesoddtangen, Norway.
methods165 persons with SCI were interviewed in 2004-2005 by questionnaires and clinical examination. Descriptive statistics and a logistic regression analysis were performed to identify variables associated with bone fractures and musculoskeletal ailments.
resultsAround half of the participants experienced a fracture after injury and excessive use of alcohol increased the odds (OR 0.09; CI 0.01-0.74) of suffering a post-injury fracture (
conclusionAround half of the 165 participants reported to have suffered a fracture and over 100 to experience musculoskeletal ailment 20 years after injury. We suggest that prevention strategies and symptom management must be embedded in follow-up visits after SCI.
