Family-centered empowerment process in individuals with spinal cord injury living in Iran: a grounded theory study.
Article in Spinal cord, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
designThis was a qualitative study using grounded theory method.
objectivesTo explain the process of family-centered empowerment in a population of individuals with SCI living in Iran.
settingBrain and SCI Research Center, Social Welfare Center, and SCI Association of Tehran; Iran.
methodsParticipants were 19 persons with traumatic SCI, 13 family member caregivers, and 11 health care providers selected through purposeful sampling. Data were collected using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews, which were continued until data saturation. The interview data were methodically collected and analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's (1998) recommended method for grounded theory. Constant comparative analysis was simultaneously conducted through reviews of the interview statements, observations of behavior, interviewer field notes, and interviewer memos. The analysis was managed in MAXQDA software version 10.
resultsThe process of family-centered empowerment following SCI included five categories: (1) disruption in the existential integrity of the individual; (2) constructive life recovery; (3) inhibitors of family-centered empowerment; (4) facilitators of family-centered empowerment, and (5) back on track. Constructive life recovery was selected as the core variable using the grounded theory method. This core variable identified the strategies most frequently used by the participants to cope with the challenges of SCI-related impairment, disability, and overall life management.
conclusionsFamily-centered empowerment process in individuals with SCI living in Iran emerged from the data. The model includes early disruptions in the bio-psycho-social and vocational lives of individuals with SCI and their families, strategies for recovery post injury, inhibitors and facilitators of family-centered empowerment, the gradual return to work and daily activities, and the expected social roles for individuals with SCI.
