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

STUDY

designHospital-based retrospective epidemiological research.

objectivesTo describe the epidemiological and demographic features of patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury in Chongqing, China from 2009 to 2018.

settingArmy Military Medical University Xinqiao Hospital in Chongqing.

methodsAll patients diagnosed traumatic CSCI admitted to Xinqiao hospital from 2009 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Data elements referred from the International SCI Core Data Set, included date of birth, date of injury, gender, etiology of injury, vertebral injury, associated injury, ventilatory assistance, and neurological status were collected.

resultsA total of 503 patients with TCSCI met the criteria. The mean age of patients with TCSCI was 50.3 ± 13.9 years (15-85 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 4.7:1. Fall (67.2%) was the leading cause of injury, followed by transport (22.3%). The most common neurologic level of injury (NLI) was C5, accounting for 38.2%. The number of AIS D was the largest, accounting for 42%.

conclusionsThe results indicated that TCSCI occurred most frequently in the middle age and fall was the leading cause of injury. The number of patients with TCSCI was larger in male than in female. The most common NLI occurred in C5, and AIS D had the largest numbers.
