Validation of the Nepali version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Self-Report.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
STUDY
designA methodological study.
objectivesTo establish the criterion-related validity of the Nepali version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Self-Report (SCIM-SR).
settingOutpatient Department of the Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Center and community of Province no. 3, Nepal.
methodsCommunity-dwelling individuals with spinal cord injury were enrolled. Participants self-administered the Nepali version of the SCIM-SR while a clinician concurrently administered the SCIM III. Descriptive statistics characterized the sample, while Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Intraclass correlation coefficient assessed the association between the SCIM III and the Nepali version of the SCIM-SR. Bland Altman's analysis determined the differences.
resultsThe Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for the total score was 0.961, self-care subscale was 0.590, respiration and sphincter management subscale was 0.897, and mobility subscale was 0.891. The ICC (2,1) and confidence interval for the total score, self-care subscale, respiration and sphincter management subscale, and mobility subscale were 0.989 (0.983-0.993), 0.873 (0.804-0.918), 0.955 (0.931-0.971) and 0.991 (0.987-0.994), respectively. The SCIM-SR scores were lower than the SCIM III in total and all subscale scores. The Bland-Altman's difference for the total score, self-care subscale, respiration and sphincter management subscale, and mobility subscale were 2.55, 1.34, 0.83, and 0.38, respectively.
conclusionsThe Nepali version of the SCIM-SR was validated and can be used to evaluate the functional status of individuals with spinal cord injury in the community setting of Nepal.
