Utilization of whole health services among veterans with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D): Early insights from the VA SCI/D system of care.
Article 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.
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
CONTEXT/
objectiveOur objective was to describe early participation in Whole Health programs across the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Spinal Cord Injuries and Disorders (SCI/D) System of Care.
designRetrospective analysis of VHA administrative data.
settingThe VHA SCI/D System of Care.
participantsVeterans with SCI/D included in the FY2019 cumulative VHA SCI/D Registry cohort with living status during FY2017, FY2018, and FY2019.
interventionsN/A. OUTCOME MEASURES: We assessed the number of encounters and unique Veterans with SCI/D, and the percent of Veterans with SCI/D, who utilized each Whole Health (WH) program available in VA.
resultsUtilization of WH Pathway and well-being Programs increased from 62 encounters to 1703 encounters between FY2017 and FY2019 (representing 0.09% to 3.13% of Veterans with SCI/D). Utilization of chiropractic care rose from 130 encounters to 418 encounters during the same time period. Similarly, utilization of complementary and integrative health programs increased from 886 encounters to 2655 encounters (representing 1.09% to 3.11% of Veterans; FY2017 to 2019). We also report utilization of specific WH programs.
conclusionParticipation in WH services has been increasing among Veterans with SCI/D who receive health care from the VHA SCI/D System of Care. However, utilization among Veterans with SCI/D remains low overall, and targeted efforts to increase WH program reach are needed. Additional information about the relative effectiveness of different strategies to support WH implementation is also needed, to ensure strategies likely to have the most impact are prioritized.
