Long-Term Survival and Causes of Death in Patients below the Age of 60 with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in Germany.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
To study the mortality, cause and risk indicators of death in German patients with traumatic spinal cord injury, patients with traumatic spinal cord injury admitted to Berufsgenossenschaftliches Trauma Hospital Hamburg between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 2018, aged between 16 and 60 with a minimal survival of one year after injury, were included. Further criteria were the absence of life-limiting comorbidities at the time of injury. 223 deceased patients with traumatic spinal cord injury were identified, investigated on and partly compared to the surviving subjects. We aimed to discover specific complications that were related to Spinal Cord Injury and responsible for a possibly limited life expectancy. Data collection was performed during in- and outpatient treatment. A statistical analysis was performed to compare groups. The post-injury life expectancy was 25.0 years with a significant correlation regarding the level of lesion and severity of injury. The leading causes of death were cardiovascular diseases and pneumonia. Bladder cancer was the most common fatal malignant tumor. The life expectancy of patients suffering from traumatic spinal cord injury is limited. The longer a patient survives after injury and the lower the level of lesion, the more likely an age-related cause of death becomes. Bladder cancer is significantly more frequent when compared to the overall distribution of tumor diseases in Germany.
