Functional priorities of individuals with spinal cord injury: a Saudi Arabian perspective.
Article in Spinal cord, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07237035 (Reclaiming Independence), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
CONTEXT/
objectivePeople with spinal cord injury (SCI) are the deciding force behind the rehabilitation program to improve their quality of life (QoL) based on their personal preferences. Here we aimed to determine the preferences perceived most vital by Saudi SCI population to improve their QoL, and explore if these preferences are affected by gender, education, and duration, level, or extent of injury.
designParticipants ranked seven priorities of bodily functions as Rank I-VII with "I" being "Most important," and "VII" being "Least important."
settingInpatient rehabilitation facility.
participants120 participants (>18 years of age) of either sex with SCI without polytrauma, acquired brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, and dementia. OUTCOME MEASURES: Ranking scale of seven priorities of bodily functions as Rank I-VII with "I" being "Most important," and "VII" being "Least important."
resultsOf 101 individuals (mean age: 35.2 ± 14.8 years) finally included, 70.3% were males, 66.3% had onset of SCI since ≥ 3 years, 48.5% had a complete injury, and 75% had paraplegia. Most (26.7%) participants ranked walking as the first priority followed by hand/arm function (20.8%). Sexual function was the least important priority (39.6%). Hand/arm function was significantly more important for individuals with tetraplegia (p < 0.001). Trunk strength and balance was significantly less important for individuals with complete injury (p = 0.037). Participants with the onset of injury < 3 years and a complete injury reported bladder/bowel function as significantly more important (p = 0.011). Walking was significantly more important for people with incomplete injury and for people with injury duration ≥ 3 years (p = 0.022, p = 0.002 respectively).
conclusionThe top priority in our sample of Saudi people with SCI was walking followed by hand/arm function while the least desired function was regaining sexual function. Walking was a prioritized function for people with injury duration ≥ 3 years and people with a complete injury while hand/arm function was highly prioritized by people with tetraplegia.
