Risk and protective factors for emergency department visits and related hospitalizations among ambulatory adults with traumatic spinal cord injury.
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
objectiveTo identify the risk and protective factors for emergency department visits (EDV) and inpatient admissions through the ED (EDIP) among a population-based cohort of ambulatory adults with spinal cord injury (SCI).
designProspective self-report cohort study linked to administrative billing data.
settingA Medical University in the Southeastern USA.
participants656 ambulatory adults (>18 years old) with chronic (>1-year), traumatic SCI identified through a statewide population-based registry. OUTCOME MEASURES: EDV and EDIP in non-federal state hospitals in the year following self-report.
resultsIn the final model, lower rates of future EDV were associated with being older (incidence rate ratio, IRR = 0.99), greater time since injury (IRR = 0.94), and higher income (IRR = 0.89). The EDV rate among non-white individuals was 1.49 times as high as white individuals (
conclusionsSeveral preventable health related factors were significantly related to EDV. The study findings may help clinicians predict and prevent EDV, empower stakeholders for better self-management of their health, and inform decisions to promote the reduction of costly EDV and EDIP.
