SCI Thrive: Impact of a peer-led online self-management program.
Trial report in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo test the effectiveness of a peer-led online self-management program for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
designRandomized waitlist control trial.
settingCommunity.
participants184 adults with SCI.
interventionsSCI Thrive is a peer-led self-management program with self-paced online content and video-sessions for live discussion. OUTCOME MEASURES: Perceived quality of life, self-efficacy for health, participation.
resultsA total of 97 individuals (86 randomized plus 9 assigned to the final group) were assigned to treatment and 86 randomized to the waitlist. Participants were 51 years old on average (SD = 14.9), with 58% male, mean of 15.5 (SD = 14.0) years injured, with 59% cervical injuries and 64% incomplete injuries. The treatment group had significantly higher scores on CHART occupational subscale (P = .022), but no other differences were found at the end of 6 weeks. Analysis of all participants who completed SCI Thrive showed significant increase in self-efficacy between baseline (6.32) and 6 weeks (6.81; P < .001) which was maintained at 3 months post treatment (6.83; P = .001). Those who were more engaged in SCI Thrive reported higher quality of life (P = .001), self-efficacy (P = .007), and increased mobility on the CHART (P = .026).
conclusionSCI Thrive is a highly accessible program for individuals with SCI and shows promise for improving self-efficacy. Strategies to increase engagement should be added to maximize benefits. Measurement tools may have been impacted by COVID-19 pandemic. Further research on the efficacy of SCI Thrive is needed given feedback on benefit of a group focus area, such as on physical activity.
