Adaptation and validation of the Japanese version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM III) self-report.
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 7 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
designPsychometric study, cross-sectional validation study.
objectivesTo adapt and validate the Japanese version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure self-report (SCIM-SR).
settingA spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation facility in Japan.
methodsWe adapted the SCIM-SR for the Japanese population by translating and validating the questionnaire in accordance with the international guidelines. Following this, we analyzed 100 inpatients with SCI. We evaluated their independence using the Japanese SCIM-SR, and compared the data with those assessed using the SCIM III by trained ward nurses.
resultsSpearman's rank correlation coefficients were 0.95 for the total score, 0.89 for self-care, 0.83 for respiration and sphincter management, and 0.89 for mobility subscores. The Bland-Altman analysis revealed no significant proportional bias (-0.02; 95% CI [-0.07, 0.06]), but a significant fixed bias (2; 95% CI [0.5, 3.5]). We did not identify any specific factor that affected the differences between SCIM III and SCIM-SR scores.
conclusionsOur study validated the Japanese version of SCIM-SR as a tool for the evaluation of the independence of persons with SCI, which could substitute SCIM III and help facilitate a deeper understanding of activities of daily living among patients with SCI.
