Observational study in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04649814 (Finnish Spinal Cord Injury Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveThe aim of this study is to assess the physical health in the Finnish Spinal cord injury (SCI) population using the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) and make a comparison to the general United States (US) population. Furthermore, the aim is to explore the associations between pain interference, pain intensity, sleep disturbance, and fatigue and physical function.

designCross-sectional study. This study is part of the Finnish Spinal Cord Injury (FinSCI) community survey study.

settingCommunity, Finland.

participants884 persons with SCI.

interventionsNot applicable. OUTCOME MEASURES: Physical health was measured with custom Patient Reported Outcome Measure System (PROMIS®) short forms.

resultsHigher age and lesion level indicated more severe physical function impairments. Persons ≥46 years exhibited more pain interference symptoms compared to younger participants. On average, the Finnish SCI population had 1.3 SD lower physical function and 0.9 SD higher pain interference T-scores compared to the US general population (P < 0.001). The most significant association was observed between pain interference and physical function (

conclusionsThe present study provides a description of the state of physical health in the Finnish spinal cord injury population, as well as the associations between the physical health areas. The results highlight the substantiality of pain management in terms of improving physical function. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04649814.
