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

designSecondary analysis of an observational cohort study.

objectivesTo determine if the perceived overall limitation of neuropathic pain on activities (NP limitation) covaries in 26 specific life activities in people with SCI, taking into account the severity of injury.

settingCommunity-based in Canada.

methodsSecondary analysis of a cohort (N = 1481) was performed using questionnaires to rate NP frequency and limitation on activities as well as participation in 26 life activities. Relative risks (RR) analyses using Poisson regression were used to examine the data.

resultsMost participants (N = 1158; 78%) reported living with NP (from once a year to every day). When NP limitation was described as "not at all" or "very little" (N = 394; 34%), there was no statistically significant RR (p > 0.0019), suggesting no additional risk of not participating "as much as wanted" in any of activities compared to participants with no NP. When NP limitation was described as "to some extent" (N = 411; 35%), a significantly higher risk was observed for 5 of the 26 activities (1.34 < RR < 1.62), and for 23 activities with a large range (1.24 < RR < 3.20) when NP limitation was rated as "to a great extent or more" (N = 353; 31%).

conclusionThe variation of RR observed across the 26 activities suggests that the NP limitation may not be general but rather related to specific activity characteristics, which should be taken into account when evaluating NP limitations with a specific focus on the life activities being affected.
