1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate the changes in total internet and mobile internet use over time and determine how demographic characteristics are related to changes in internet and mobile internet use among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

designCross-sectional analysis of a multicenter cohort study.

settingNational SCI Database.

participantsIndividuals with traumatic SCI with follow-up data collected between 2012 and 2018 (N=13,622).

interventionsNot applicable.

main outcome measuresProportion of sample reporting internet use at all or through a mobile device over time and specifically in 2018.

resultsThe proportion of internet users increased from 77.7% in 2012 to 88.1% in 2018. Older participants (P<.001); those with lower annual income (P<.001), less education (P<.001), non-White race or Hispanic ethnicity (P<.001), or motor incomplete tetraplegia (P=.004); and men (P=.035) were less likely to use the internet from 2012-2018. By 2018, there were no longer differences in internet use based on race and ethnicity (P=.290) or sex (P=.066). Mobile internet use increased each year (52.4% to 87.7% of internet users from 2012-2018), with a participant being 13.7 times more likely to use mobile internet in 2018 than 2012. Older age (P<.001), income <$50,000 (P<.001), high school diploma or less (P=.011), or non-Hispanic White race/ethnicity (P=.001) were associated with less mobile internet use over time. By 2018, there were no differences in mobile internet use by education (P=.430), and only participants with incomes >$75,000 per year had greater odds of mobile internet use (P=.016).

conclusionsDisparities associated with internet access are decreasing likely as a result of mobile device use. Increased internet access offers an important opportunity to provide educational and training materials to frequently overlooked groups of individuals with SCI.
