Self-management in youth with spina bifida: predictors of health and quality of life outcomes.
Article in Disability and rehabilitation, 2026. 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
purposeThis study examined factors associated with health status and quality of life (QOL) in youth with spina bifida.
methodsSelf-management, health complications, comorbidities, global health, and QOL were assessed. Linear and logistic regression models were used to measure associations between respondents' characteristics, self-management scores, and outcomes.
resultsParticipants (
conclusionThis study identified factors important to consider for better health and QOL in populations living with disabilities. As youth enter adult-oriented care, models of care must address declining mental health and provide gender-specific adaptive interventions to increase independent living self-management. As participants gain more independence in self-management, they appear to exhibit reduced risk of comorbid conditions and improvements in their individual health-related QOL and family QOL.
