A prediction model to identify people with spinal cord injury who are at high risk of dying within 5 years of discharge from hospital in Bangladesh.
Article in Spinal cord, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
designMixed retrospective and prospective cohort study.
objectivesTo determine 5-year survival after hospitalisation with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Bangladesh and to develop a prediction model to identify people at high risk of dying within 5 years.
settingBangladesh.
methodsMedical records were used to identify people with SCI admitted to a hospital in Bangladesh in 2011. Participants or their family members were contacted >5 years after discharge to determine vital status or date of death. Survival from time of discharge was estimated with Kaplan-Meier curves. A linear model of the log odds of death within 5 years of discharge was constructed and internally validated.
resultsOf the 345 people who were admitted and survived to discharge in 2011, 342 (99%) were accounted for 5 years later: 74 (22%) had died (survival = 78%; 95% CI 74-82%). Sixty nine of the 223 participants who were wheelchair-dependent at discharge had died (survival = 69%; 95% CI 62-75%). A parsimonious model predicted survival as a function of age and mode of mobility at discharge (wheelchair-dependent or ambulant). The odds of dying increased by a factor of 1.6 (95% CI, 1.3-2.0) with every decade of age and by a factor of 12.6 (95% CI, 4.8-32.9) if wheelchair-dependent. The model had good calibration and discrimination.
conclusionThe risk of dying after discharge from hospital with SCI in Bangladesh is high, especially among older, wheelchair-dependent people. A simple prediction model discriminates those at high risk of dying within 5 years.
