A Community-Based Survivorship Model for Individuals With Orthopedic Disabilities in Rural Areas.

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
backgroundOrthopedic disabilities are a significant public health challenge in rural areas, where access to rehabilitation and support services is often inadequate. Individuals with physical disabilities frequently lack the necessary awareness, resources, and community support to manage their conditions effectively.
objectiveThis comparative study aims to evaluate a community-based survivorship model (CBSM) for individuals with orthopedic disabilities in rural areas. The model focuses on educating patients, fostering positive health behaviors, and providing a structured framework for managing disability-related challenges.
methodsA study was conducted using primary data. A total of 156 participants meeting inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 78) and control (n = 78) groups. The intervention group received the CBSM for three months, comprising six components: rehabilitation, prosthetics/orthotics, mental health support, health campaigns, occupational therapy, and financial aid. Outcomes were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Self-Efficacy Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2020; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States).
resultsThe experimental group demonstrated markedly greater improvements compared to the control group. Pain scores (VAS) decreased by a mean difference of 2.56 (p < 0.001), functional independence (FIM) increased by 11.11 (p < 0.001), and self-efficacy improved by 8.71 (p < 0.001). Additionally, depressive symptoms (PHQ-9) reduced substantially with a mean difference of 6.15 (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe CBSM provides an effective, structured strategy to enhance functional independence, self-efficacy, and mental well-being while reducing pain among individuals with orthopedic disabilities in rural settings.
