Gait recovery in patients with late assessment of incomplete spinal cord injury: A retrospective study in Argentina.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2025. 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
designRetrospective data analysis study.
objectivesTo assess gait recovery rates in subjects with motor incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) at the start of rehabilitation and to report their gait performance.
settingTertiary inpatient Rehabilitation Center in Argentina.
methodsThe study analyzed data from 143 individuals with traumatic and non-traumatic SCI (AIS/ASIA Impairment Scale C and D) within 90 days of injury, all non-ambulatory upon admission. Gait status at discharge was evaluated using the 6-minute walk test and the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II (WISCI II). Statistical evaluations utilized Pearson chi-square and Mann-Whitney U-tests. Approval was obtained from Fleni's Ethics Committee.
resultsAmong the 65 patients with AIS C, 69% regained walking function, compared to 87% of the 74 patients with AIS D (
conclusionsMost patients with incomplete motor SCI who participated in inpatient rehabilitation regained walking, with motor score and pinprick sensation correlating to walking ability. Gait performance was comparable between AIS C and D.
