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

Objectives: This study investigated the association between the reported availability of mobility assistive products and the perceived frequency, restriction, and satisfaction of participation in individuals with spinal cord injury in Switzerland. Methods: This study was based on a cross-sectional analysis based on questionnaire data collected from the Swiss SCI Cohort Study community survey in 2012 ( Results: The availability of a sports wheelchair or a hand bike were both significant in reducing the restriction to participation. Having an adapted car increased the frequency of participation. Conclusion: The availability of a sports wheelchair or a hand bike was significantly associated with less restriction in participation. With an unmet need of up to 36%, the known health benefits of regular physical activity and thereby cost-saving potential for the health care system, external support in the acquiring or use of these sports-related mobility assistive products could be an easy target for intervention.
