1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Personal hygiene is the most important measure to prevent coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). The pandemic has put persons with disabilities into various challenges. People with spinal cord injury (SCI) are facing these obstacles more because of their altered physiology and increased susceptibility to COVID-19. Through telerehabilitation, hurdles were identified in two paraplegic individuals, such as safe water sources, concerns regarding self-catheterization, increased dependence on care partner, hygiene of assistive aids/wheelchairs, availability of dressing materials for pressure injury dressing, and sanitary pads for menstrual hygiene. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first cases to describe hygiene concerns of SCI people during the COVID-19 pandemic and its rehabilitation implications. Considering the population with disabilities, we should improve access to primary care at the community level regarding personal hygiene. For a large population with disabilities such as SCI who are at risk, simple health education, awareness, and economic ways of hygienic practices can be a saviour.
