Factors affecting rehabilitation participation in patients with spinal cord injury.

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
objectivesTo investigate the factors affecting participation in rehabilitation in patients with spinal cord injury.
methodsOur prospective clinical follow-up study included 87 patients with spinal cord injuries who were hospitalized in a tertiary Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital. General characteristics of the patients were noted. Depression, neuropathic pain, independence in activities of daily living, and participation in the rehabilitation program were assessed using the Beck Depression Scale, DN-4 score, Spinal Cord Injury Independence Measure (SCIM), and Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale, respectively.
resultsNearly one-third of patients (31%) showed low participation. The frequency of tetraplegics was higher, the median motor score was statistically lower, the rate of training in the locomat and mechanical balance devices was lower, and the median Beck Depression Scale score was higher in the lower participation group (
conclusionOur results confirm the importance of rehabilitation participation. Patients should be encouraged to participate in rehabilitation and problems such as neuropathic pain and depression should be appropriately addressed and solved. Intensive rehabilitation including locomat and mechanical balance training is recommended.
