Diagnosis and Management of Cardiovascular Risk in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: A Narrative Review.
Review in Circulation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
More than 16 000 Americans experience spinal cord injury (SCI), resulting in chronic disability and other secondary sequelae, each year. Improvements in acute medical management have increased life expectancy. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in this population, and seems to occur earlier in individuals with SCI compared with the general population. People with SCI experience a high burden of traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, including dyslipidemia and diabetes, and demonstrate anatomic, metabolic, and physiologic changes alongside stark reductions in physical activity after injury. They also experience multiple, complex barriers to care relating to disability and, in many cases, compounding effects of intersecting racial and socioeconomic health inequities. Given this combination of risk factors, some investigators have proposed that people with SCI are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, beyond that associated with traditional risk factors, and SCI could be considered a risk-enhancing factor, analogous to other risk-enhancing factors defined by the 2019 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Primary Prevention Guidelines. However, more research is needed in this population to clarify the role of traditional risk factors, novel risk factors, health care access, social determinants of health, and intersectionality of disability, race, and socioeconomic status. There is an urgent need for primary care physicians and cardiologists to have awareness of the importance of timely diagnosis and management of cardiac risk factors for people with SCI.
