The Danish Spinal Cord Injury Shoulder (DanSCIS) cohort: methodology and primary results.
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 10 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
designCross-sectional study.
objectivesTo describe the socio-demographics, injury characteristics, prevalence of shoulder and neck symptoms, weekly participation in leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and quality of life (QoL) of individuals with spinal cord injury in Denmark (SCI).
settingNation-wide community survey, Denmark.
methodsIndividuals with SCI for >2 years were included from three SCI rehabilitation departments. Questionnaire data regarding socio-demographic details, SCI injury characteristics, medical history, shoulder and neck symptoms, LTPA and QoL were collected.
resultsOf 2454 potential participants, 1517 (62%) responded to the survey (mean age = 56.2, SD 16.1, 37% female, 42% tetraplegia, 23% complete SCI, mean time since injury = 16.9, SD 13.5). 75% used some form of assistive mobility device. Responders and non-responders showed no sex or injury type/severity differences. Shoulder and neck symptoms within the past 3 months were reported by 63 and 67% respectively, with 51% reporting shoulder symptoms within the past week. Among those with symptoms, 61% had experienced shoulder symptoms and 56% neck symptoms, for more than 30 days during the previous 3 months. Symptoms often prevented participants from performing their usual activities (due to shoulder symptoms 46%, neck symptoms 41%).
conclusionsA high prevalence of self-reported shoulder and neck symptoms was found, which may limit physical function and social activities. We succeeded in generating the Danish Spinal Cord Injury Shoulder (DanSCIS) dataset, which comprised a substantial proportion of Danish adults with SCI. Future studies using data from this cohort will investigate patterns and associations between shoulder/neck symptoms, use of assistive mobility devices, LTPA and QoL.
