Preventative Services Use and Risk Reduction for Potentially Preventative Hospitalizations Among People With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo examine the risk of potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPHs) for adults (18 years or older) with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) to identify the most common types of preventable hospitalizations and their associative risk factors.
designCohort study.
settingUsing 2007-2017 U.S. claims data from the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart, we identified adults (18 years or older) with diagnosis of TSCI (n=5380). Adults without TSCI diagnosis were included as controls (n=1,074,729). Using age and sex, we matched individuals with and without TSCI (n=5173) with propensity scores to address potential selection bias. Generalized linear regression was applied to examine the risk of TSCI on PPHs. Models were adjusted for age; sex; race and ethnicity; Elixhauser comorbidity count; any cardiometabolic, psychological, and musculoskeletal chronic conditions; U.S. Census Division; socioeconomic variables; and use of certain preventative care services. Adjusted odds ratios were compared within a 4-year follow-up period.
participantsAdults with and without TSCI (N=5,173).
interventionNot applicable. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Any PPH and specific PPHs
resultsAdults with TSCI had higher risk for any PPH (odds ratio [OR], 1.67; 95% CI,1.20-2.32), as well as PPHs because of urinary tract infection (UTI) (OR, 3.78; 95% CI, 2.47-5.79), hypertension (OR, 3.77; 95% CI, 1.54-9.21), diabetes long-term complications (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.34-4.80), and pneumonia (OR, 1.71; 95% CI. 1.21-2.41). Annual wellness visit was associated with reduced PPH risk compared with cases and controls without annual wellness visit (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.46-0.71) and among people with TSCI (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55-0.86) compared with cases without annual wellness visit.
conclusionsAdults with TSCI are at a heightened risk for PPH. They are also more susceptible to certain PPHs such as UTIs, pneumonia, and heart failure. Encouraging the use of preventative or health-promoting services, especially for respiratory and urinary outcomes, may reduce PPHs among adults with TSCI.
