Association Between SCIM III Total Scores and Individual Item Scores to Predict Independence With ADLs in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo clarify the activities of daily living (ADL) structure of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) by analyzing the associations between the Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III) total score and individual SCIM III item scores.
designA retrospective survey.
settingA national hospital with 2 SCI units in Japan.
participantsInpatients (N=81) within 60 days of SCI onset were included (men, 84%). The mean age was 62 years. Of these, 63 persons had incomplete SCI (47 persons had tetraplegia).
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measureSCIM III was used to assess the ADL independence level on a monthly basis during hospitalization. SCIM III data were analyzed with ordinal logistic analyses.
resultsThe analyses revealed that SCIM III total scores accounted for the probabilities of individual SCIM III item scores. Goodness-of-fit of each logistic model by Wald test was significant (
conclusionsThe SCIM III total score can provide information on the probability and degree of difficulty of attaining independence for each item. Therefore, the present total SCIM III scores could be the indication for ADL attainment. In addition, the higher total SCIM III score and the probability of individual items score are useful for planning efficient rehabilitative approaches, considering the degree of difficulty of attaining independence for each item. Moreover, our results show good generalizability across patients with complete and incomplete SCI.
