Improving skin screening capabilities for Veterans with spinal cord injuries.
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
contextClinical Practice Guidelines from the Consortium for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Medicine recommend daily self-screening of at-risk skin surfaces, but many Veterans with SCI describe challenges using the standard issue long-handled self-inspection mirror (LSIM).
objectiveThe objective of this project was to compare the LSIM to a recently developed camera-based self-inspection system (CSIS). User feedback guided iterative engineering to improve and develop the new technology in preparation for transfer to industry.
methodsFive Veterans with spinal cord injury (SCI) volunteered to compare use of a LSIM versus the CSIS to identify purposefully placed stickers with varying letters and colors over their high-risk skin surfaces while lying in bed. Each Veteran also responded to a series of interview questions and completed the QUEST 2.0 questionnaire on satisfaction with assistive technology.
resultsVeterans with SCI were able to correctly identify sticker letters and colors with significantly higher fidelity (
conclusionsImproved visualization and satisfaction scores using the newly developed CSIS suggest that adoption of this new technology could improve the quality and acceptance of this skin screening strategy for persons with spinal cord injury.
