Factors enabling comorbidities and secondary conditions in older adults with spinal cord injury.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 role of personal, social, and environmental factors predicting comorbidities and secondary conditions among older adults with spinal cord injury (SCI).
designCross-sectional study utilizing survey methods were used to collect the data analyzed with two distinct general linear models.
settingCommunity-dwelling participants who resided in rural and urban areas.
participantsOne hundred and eighty-three (183) participants with SCI ages 45 and over at least five years post injury.
interventionsNot applicable. MEASURES: Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS); Comorbidities Questionnaire; Spinal Cord Injury Functional Index Assistive Technology (SCI-FI/AT) Basic - Mobility; Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life (SCI-QOL) Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities Scale (SSRA); Cohen's Social Network-Social Integration Index, the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Emotional/Informational Support Scale, and the Facilitators and Barriers Survey for Mobility (FABS-Mv2). Questions were also asked from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
resultsCommon predictors of comorbidities and secondary conditions included age, basic mobility, primary health care payer and parking limitations. An interaction between parking and neurological classification was observed for comorbidities. Neurological classification and employment were significantly associated with comorbidities while for secondary conditions, sex, years since injury, education, satisfaction with social roles and the home environment were critical factors.
conclusionsOur study shows the effects of demographic and injury factors, physical functioning, satisfaction with social roles, access to home environment adaptations and health resources in predicting comorbidities and secondary conditions among older adults with SCI.
