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

CONTEXT/

objectiveActivity-based therapies (ABT) are increasingly used in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D). However, the absence of standardized tools to track the details of an ABT program hinders the collection of data needed for client-tailored programming and resource allocation. The objective of this study is to determine the content to include in an ABT tracking tool for people living with SCI/D.

designCross-sectional e-survey.

settingCommunity.

participantsThe 60 participants from Canada and the United States who had knowledge and/or experience with ABT included: individuals with SCI/D; hospital clinicians (

interventionsNone. OUTCOME MEASURES: A Delphi e-survey comprised 16 types of ABT (

resultsAfter two survey rounds, nine types of ABT and one technology were identified as important to include in a tracking tool. All items rated as important were considered feasible for clinicians and people with SCI/D to track, except crawling.

conclusionThis study identified the types of ABT and technology to include in an ABT tracking tool. Such a tool may provide details of an ABT program that can support decision-making at the individual, program and health system levels and aid the development of best practice guidelines.
