Development of Reaching, Grasping & Manipulation indicators to advance the quality of spinal cord injury rehabilitation: SCI-High Project.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo describe the development of structure, process, and outcome indicators aimed to advance the quality of Reaching, Grasping & Manipulation (RG&M) rehabilitation for Canadians living with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI
methodUpper extremity rehabilitation experts developed a framework of indicators for evaluation of RG&M rehabilitation quality. A systematic search of the literature identified potential upper extremity indicators that influence RG&M outcomes. A Driver diagram summarized factors influencing upper extremity outcomes to inform the selection of
resultsThe selected structure indicator is the number of occupational and physical therapists with specialized certification, education, training and/or work experience in upper extremity therapy related to RG&M at a given SCI/D rehabilitation center. The process indicator is the total hours of upper extremity therapies related to RG&M and the proportion of this time allocated to neurorestorative therapy for each individual with tetraplegia receiving therapy. The outcome indicators are the Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensation and Prehension (GRASSP) strength and Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III) Self-Care subscores implemented at rehabilitation admission and discharge, and SCIM III Self-Care subscore only at 18 months post-admission.
conclusionThe selected indicators align with current practice, will direct the timing of routine assessments, and enhance the volume and quality of RG&M therapy delivered, with the aim to ultimately increase the proportion of individuals with tetraplegia achieving improved upper extremity function by 18 months post-rehabilitation.
