Factors associated with neuropathic pain in Colombian patients with spinal cord injury of traumatic origin: case-control study.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
designCase-control study.
objectivesTo identify factors associated with neuropathic pain (NP) in patients with spinal cord injury of traumatic origin (TSCI).
settingUniversity Hospital of Valle, Cali, Colombia.
methodsStudy participants were individuals with diagnosis of TSCI who visited a trauma referral center from January 1st, 2016, to December 31st, 2016. Information was retrospectively extracted from the Hospital's Spinal Cord Injury registry and patients' medical records. Cases were defined as patients with NP and controls were those without NP. The exposure of interest was intentional injuries. Individuals were matched by age and stratified into 11 groups of ±3 years each.
resultsWe found 164 participants with an average age of 34 ± 13 years, of whom 95.1% were male, and 53.6% had NP. Neurogenic bladder and bowel occurred in 94.3% of NP patients. Cause of injury was not associated with NP. Older injuries were protective for NP (>10 years since injury OR = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.03-0.37, p < 0.0001) and neurogenic bladder and bowel were found as risk factors (OR = 5.89, 95% CI = 1.84-18.88; p = 0.003).
conclusionsOur study uniquely shows time since injury as a protective factor for NP and neurogenic bladder and bowel as a risk factor, while violence was not found associated. This could help guide the scope of future research about NP secondary to SCI.
