Health factors and spinal cord injury: a prospective study of risk of cause-specific mortality.
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 24 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
designProspective cohort study.
objectivesIdentify the risk and protective factors of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
settingRehabilitation specialty hospital in the Southeastern United States.
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted with 3070 adults with traumatic SCI who were a minimum of 1 year post-injury at assessment. Prospective data were collected in 1997-1998 and 2007-2010, with mortality determined as of 31 December, 2016. The deceased were classified into six categories based on underlying cause of death: septicemia, pneumonia and influenza, cancer, heart and blood vessel diseases, unintentional injuries, and all other causes. The competing risk analysis strategy applied to each of the specific causes.
resultsThere were a total of 803 observed deaths among the 2979 final study sample. After controlling for demographic and injury characteristics, general health, pressure ulcer history, and symptoms of infections were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Except for cancer, they were also related with at least one of the specific causes of death, whereas orthopedic complications and subsequent injuries were unrelated to any cause.
conclusionsThree health domains, global health, pressure ulcers, and symptoms of illness or infection, were significantly associated with mortality after SCI, and the patterns of association varied as a function of specific cause of death.
