Access limitations and level of psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in a geographically-limited sample of individuals with spinal cord injury.
Article 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. Cited by 17 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.

interventionsNot applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Questionnaire administration included assessments of resilience, depressive symptoms, satisfaction with life, anxiety, pain, alcohol and substance use, COVID-19 diagnoses and symptoms, and impact of early COVID-19 community restrictions on various aspects of life.
resultsOf the individuals interviewed, 78% reported limited access to their regular activities, 40% to healthcare information and services, 38% to personal protective equipment (PPE), 37% to food/groceries, and 34% to medication refills. Sixteen percent of the participants had at least moderate levels of depression, and 10% had at least moderate levels of anxiety. Statistically significant increases in depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire 9; CONCLUSION(S): Limitations to basic needs and face-to-face communication can exacerbate challenges in access for persons with disabilities. Our results show increased levels of psychological distress related to decreased access to goods and services in individuals with SCI due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study can help the SCI community to target strategies for enhanced access, outreach, shared information, and social support in preparation for future community health or weather emergencies.
