Exploring the mediating effects of coping strategies on adjustment after sustaining a spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 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
designCross-sectional study of adults living with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in Norway.
objectivesUsing the Norwegian data from the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey (InSCI), we firstly aimed to examine the mediating effect of self-efficacy and active coping strategies on the relationship between functional independence and level of adjustment as proposed by the Spinal Cord Injury Adjustment Model (SCIAM). Secondly, to examine potential gender differences in levels of adjustment after sustaining an SCI. This study used a comprehensive adjustment variable.
settingSCI population in Norway.
methodsThe first objective was tested with a measure of mediation analysis and the second objective with an independent two sample t-test.
resultsA total of 610 participants responded to the questionnaire, with a mean age of 57 years, and 68,5% being male. Psychological resources fully mediated the effect of functional independence on adjustment. There was a statistically significant double mediation effect, first through self-efficacy and, then through active coping strategies (β = 0,02; 95% CI 0.01-0.03). The pathway from functional independence through active coping strategies to adjustment showed the strongest mediation proportion of 0.49. The difference in adjustment levels between males and females was 2.90 out of 100 (95% CI: 0.19-5.61).
conclusionsSelf-efficacy and active coping strategies were found as mediating factors in the relationship between functional independence and adjustment. These factors are important to consider during SCI rehabilitation. Females had a slightly lower level of adjustment than males.
