Factors associated with discharge destination following inpatient functional rehabilitation in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
designRetrospective review of data from a prospective database of a Level 1 trauma center.
objectivesThis project aims to identify factors collected during the acute and rehabilitative care following a traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) associated with success and failure to return home after inpatient intensive functional rehabilitation (IFR).
settingLevel 1 trauma center specialized in TSCI care in Montreal, Canada.
methodsAll eligible patients from our prospective database were separated into two groups according to discharge destination following IFR. Clinical variables collected during the acute and rehabilitative care as well as demographic variables were compared between patients who managed to return home (Group 1) and those who were discharged elsewhere (Group 2). Multivariable regression analyses were conducted with variables that were significant at the univariate level.
resultsOut of the 193 patients included, 22 (11%) failed to return home following IFR. Six variables were associated with failure to return home at the univariate level: longer acute length of stay (LOS), longer rehabilitation LOS, living alone, higher neurological level of injury, having comorbidities, and having a pressure injury (PI) during acute care. Three variables remained significant at the multivariate level: living alone, increasing acute LOS and presenting a high cervical (C1-C4) neurological level of injury.
conclusionsIt is important that acute care clinicians recognize the aforementioned factors early after TSCI in order to optimize patients for community reintegration.
