1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The start of rehabilitation directly affects the effectiveness of treatment. This is a quantitative, exploratory, analytical, and cross-sectional study, with 618 Brazilian adults with spinal cord injury (SCI). Participants were predominantly male (68.90%), with a mean age of 38.04 years (SD = 9.85), with higher education (49.50%), receiving social security benefits (63.60%), and with a monthly income of up to 3 minimum wages (55.10%). The main cause of SCI was traffic accident (40.80%) and 58.70% of the participants had paraplegia. Moreover, 19.40% had not undergone any rehabilitation and the mean time to start rehabilitation after SCI was 17.68 months (SD = 38.80). Participants with the highest level of education were 4.30 times more likely to undergo rehabilitation. The results suggest that those who were more educated and with higher income also had greater access to rehabilitation programs and sought these programs earlier. In contrast, those with less resources had fewer opportunities for rehabilitation. The optimization of referral systems in the health care network, outreach programs, and a greater supply of rehabilitation centers can increase access to rehabilitation among people with SCI.
