Psychosocial challenges of social reintegration for people with spinal cord injury: a qualitative 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 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
designQualitative study, using in-depth, and semi-structured interviews.
objectiveTo identify the psychosocial challenges of social reintegration for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Iran.
settingPeople with SCI living in the community in Iran.
methodEleven individuals with SCI with a median time since injury of 12 years (between 9 and 20 years), two family members, and three specialists (two social workers and one physiotherapist) were selected by purposive sampling with maximum variation. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted and finally the data analyzed through qualitative content methodology.
resultsThe psychosocial challenges were categorized into four main categories and twelve subcategories: early crises (denial and disbelief; feelings of isolation and depression; dependency crisis; and a sudden change in the normal course of life), disabling society (stigma; discrimination; employment challenges; and educational restriction), environmental barriers to access (lack of barrier-free environments and transportation challenges), and inappropriate services delivery (incomprehensive rules and lack of specialized training).
conclusionsProviding various psychosocial services is essential for the social reintegration of people with SCI. This goal could be achieved by the provision of medical and physical rehabilitation services. The ultimate purpose of rehabilitation is to reintegrate individuals into society after injury or illness; thus, psychosocial issues must also be considered to ensure effective rehabilitation.
