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

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals undergoing home-based rehabilitation face multiple challenges, including functional impairments, bladder dysfunction, and employment barriers. Poor bladder management impacts autonomy, health, and quality of life, while limited mobility and environmental inaccessibility hinder return-to-work. Objective: To assess rehabilitation priorities and unmet needs among home-based individuals with SCI, focusing on bladder management, functional limitations, and employment reintegration. The study aims to identify personal, medical, and environmental factors affecting rehabilitation outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to September 2023 by West China Hospital, Sichuan University. A total of 3,055 SCI individuals across mainland China completed an online questionnaire assessing demographics, functional status, rehabilitation goals, and employment challenges. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Chi-square, and multivariate regression were used for data analysis. Results: Challenges: Most participants (80.88%) had traumatic SCI. Significant daily life barriers included financial burden (46.0%), unemployment (44.1%), accessibility issues (34.3%), health concerns (29.5% frequent medical visits; 25.7% persistent issues), and stigma (26.8%). Only 2.7% could walk ≥1 km independently. Rehabilitation Goals: Bladder function improvement (49%) was the top priority, followed by restoring mobility (standing 17%; walking 16%) and preventing complications (10%). Notably, 63.3% did not define specific bladder management targets. Predictors: Multivariate analysis showed that thoracic/cervical injury, complete paralysis, and limited mobility were predictors of prioritizing bladder management ( Conclusion: SCI individuals face intertwined challenges that impact rehabilitation and social participation. Bladder care, mobility, psychosocial stressors, and environmental access are key factors shaping rehabilitation priorities and employment outcomes. Individualized, biopsychosocial approaches are essential to promote recovery and community reintegration.
