Observational studySpinal cord2022
An observational study on body mass index during rehabilitation and follow-up in people with spinal cord injury in Denmark.
Observational study in Spinal cord, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
STUDY
designObservational study
objectiveTo describe body mass index (BMI) during rehabilitation in people with a newly sustained spinal cord injury (SCI).
settingInpatient SCI rehabilitation in Denmark.
participantsInpatients, >18 years, having sustained a SCI within the last 12 months at admission to primary rehabilitation, inclusive of various SCI etiology, neurological level, completeness of the lesion or mobility status.
methodsMeasures of BMI were obtained at admission and discharge as part of standard care. At one SCI center measures of BMI were sampled at follow up 9.5 months after discharge as well. BMI was described by mean and standard deviation (SD). Paired t-test was used to test difference in BMI between admission and discharge. Repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for analyzing BMI deriving from three time points.
resultsOverall BMI was stable with no change (25.4 kg/m
conclusionsOverall BMI was stable but higher than recommended in people with SCI undergoing rehabilitation at the two national centers in Denmark. Participants with an AIS D SCI were obese according to SCI adjusted BMI and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations during rehabilitation and at follow up.
