Self-reports of treatment for secondary health conditions: results from a longitudinal community survey in 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 5 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
designLongitudinal community survey.
objectivesTo describe the treatment for secondary health conditions as reported by individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to identify potential predictors of treatment.
settingCommunity (people with SCI living in Switzerland).
methodsData on the frequency, severity, and treatment of 14 common health conditions (HCs) in the past three months were collected in two surveys by the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury (SwiSCI) cohort study, in 2012 and 2017. Variation in treatment was analyzed using descriptive statistics, by survey period and severity of HC. Conditional multilevel random-effects logistic regression was used to describe differences in self-reported treatment with respect to sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors in addition to SCI characteristics and severity and number of HCs.
resultsSevere or chronic autonomic dysreflexia and sleep problems showed in the self-report as the HCs with the lowest occurrence/frequency of treatment. Across all HCs, higher age, shorter time since injury, the total number of HCs, and level of severity were associated with a higher propensity for reporting treatment. Individuals with severe financial difficulties additionally had 1.40 greater odds of receiving treatment (95% CI 1.09-1.80).
conclusionsThis study identified systematic differences in the report of HCs and their treatment within the Swiss SCI community. This study thus provides a basis to guide future research on identifying targets of intervention for long-term clinical management of SCI.
