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

objectiveTo classify Koreans with spinal cord injury into groups with similar levels of life satisfaction and analyse the differences in life satisfaction between the groups, and identify the factors influencing their quality of life.

designA cross-sectional study was conducted. SUBJECTS: The International Spinal Cord Injury Survey of 711 persons with traumatic or non-traumatic spinal cord injury was used.

methodsThe latent profiles were classified according to the sub-items of quality of life, and variables influencing the latent profiles were identified. The Mplus 8.0 program was used for the main analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine how the predictors were associated with latent profile membership.

resultsThe factors associated with a higher likelihood of belonging to the high quality of life group included marital status; having less bowel dysfunction and muscle spasms or spasticity; receiving vocational rehabilitation services and currently engaging in paid work; and negative social attitude and problematic financial status.

conclusionEnhancing the quality of life of individuals with spinal cord injury necessitates providing medical care for bowel dysfunction or spasticity, providing vocational rehabilitation services, enabling successful return to work, improving negative perceptions regarding people with disabilities, and implementing policies to guarantee them an income.
