Body experience during post-acute rehabilitation in individuals after a traumatic spinal cord injury: a qualitative interview-based pilot study.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
designQualitative interview-based pilot study.
objectivesA traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) profoundly disrupts the way individuals experience their body. Awareness of one's body is an important element in the psychological adjustment process after TSCI. This pilot study aimed to explore the body experience of individuals during post-acute rehabilitation following TSCI.
settingSpecialized acute care and rehabilitation center in Switzerland.
methodsEight semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with patients in the post-acute phase of their TSCI. Body experience was explored in relation to perceptive, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, and a structured content analysis was performed according to the Mayring method.
resultsThe individuals verbalized body experience in all explored aspects. The two participants with tetraplegia described high body-related awareness, including dependence on other persons or aids, whereas individuals with paraplegia focused on their ability to regain activity and perceived autonomy, which was sustained by increasing injury- and self-related comprehension. They expressed uncertainty in their understanding of their paralyzed body while also verbalizing to see a continuity in their identity pre and post TSCI. Their emotions varied from anxiety and anger to hope and optimism. The interviewees confirmed that the growing ability to describe perceptions related to their body increased their active participation in the rehabilitation process and stimulated hope for the future.
conclusionsExploration of individual body experience after a recent TSCI can strengthen patients' body awareness, communication and engagement in rehabilitation and help the interprofessional rehabilitation team individualize the rehabilitation process.
