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

designCross-sectional survey.

objectiveTo assess quality of life (QOL) and the predictors of QOL in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).

settingShanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital, Mainland China.

methodsThree hundred adult participants with SCI completed standardized self-report measures. The study assessed QOL, demographic and injury variables, psychological factors and community participation. Psychological factors included resilience, post-traumatic growth, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. Descriptive analyses were used to calculate the QOL, psychological outcomes, and community participation scores. The relationship between all the factors was examined using Pearson correlation analysis. Regression analyses were performed to determine the independent predictors of QOL.

resultsThe mean range of items for four domains of QOL was from 3.0 to 3.2. Resilience and post-traumatic growth showed significant positive relationships with each domain of QOL (range of r from 0.26 to 0.53, p < 0.01). Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression showed negative relationships with each domain of QOL (range of r from -0.67 to -0.27, p < 0.01). Community participation showed weak significant relationships with three domains of QOL. Participants' self-reported perception of environmental barriers and the five psychological outcomes were the most significant predictors of QOL. Community participation did not show any predictive effect.

conclusionsThe QOL of people with SCI in Mainland China needs improvement. Many factors influence QOL, especially psychological outcome variables. Promoting mental health in individuals with SCI is critical to improving overall QOL.
