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

Objectives: To examine leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) volume in the Australian spinal cord injury (SCI) population while exploring its associations with sociodemographic and injury-related characteristics. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analysis of the Australian cohort of the International Spinal Cord Injury Survey. The study included 1579 participants aged 18 years or older with an SCI. Analyses included summary statistics, analysis of variance, and regression modelling. Results: Approximately 58% ( Conclusion: Participation in LTPA in the Australian SCI population was low, and not enough activity was performed at intensities that elicit healthful change. These data add to the growing body of LTPA and physical activity data for the global SCI population. The trends of physical inactivity are globally consistent. Some sociodemographic variables and injury-related characteristics influence the volume and type of LTPA performed, but their effect is mild. Urgent attention is warranted to improve LTPA volume globally.
