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

STUDY

designRetrospective cohort study.

objectivesTo investigate the relationship of nutritional status with improvement of activities of daily living in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury.

settingA convalescent rehabilitation ward at the Toyama Prefectural Rehabilitation Hospital and Support Center for Children with Disabilities in Japan.

methodsThis retrospective analysis investigated adults (age ≥20 years) with cervical spinal cord injury who were consecutively admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation ward between 2006 and 2015. Data of 154 patients were analyzed. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA; 3 groups: well-nourished, suspected of being malnourished or moderately malnourished, severely malnourished) and body mass index (BMI; 3 groups: underweight, standard, and overweight and obese). The main outcome was functional independence measure (FIM) efficiency. Multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship of SGA and BMI to FIM efficiency.

resultsFIM efficiency was significantly higher in the well-nourished group based on the SGA than in the two groups with malnutrition (P = .007: 0.32 vs. 0.26 vs. 0.10). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that FIM efficiency was similar in the underweight and standard group, but was significantly higher in the overweight and obese group (P = .006: 0.20 vs. 0.21 vs. 0.31).

conclusionsSGA and BMI on admission may be independently associated with FIM efficiency in patients with cervical spinal cord injury.
