Demographic and clinical characteristics of individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury in Argentina from 2015 to 2019: a multicenter study.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
designDescriptive and ambispective study.
objectivesTo describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, and etiologies of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) in a metropolitan region of Argentina.
settingFive inpatient rehabilitation centers in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
methodsWe included all patients with acute TSCI who required hospital treatment at five rehabilitation facilities between 2015 and 2019. We collected data using portions of the International Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Core Data Set.
resultsWe registered 186 individuals as having TSCI. The males were 77% of the total sample. The mean age was 36 (SD ± 15.7) years. The distribution between paraplegia and tetraplegia was 50.3% and 49.7%, respectively. TSCI was complete in 57.3%. Including patients with motor complete SCI, the percentage reached 71.9% of the sample. Vehicular collisions were the leading cause of TSCI (47.3%), followed by falls (21.5%) and assaults (16.1%).
conclusionsWe collected data about demographics, clinical characteristics, and aetiologies of TSCI for the first time in Argentina. The predominant demographic profile of the individuals with TSCI was of young males with complete SCI. We found the most important cause of TSCI was vehicular collisions. Implementation of road safety strategies in this target population might decrease the incidence of TSCI.
