Pneumonia history and long-term impact on people with traumatic spinal cord injury: A 5-year cohort study.
Article in Spinal cord, 2025. 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
STUDY
designCohort study.
objectiveTo identify the self-reported pneumonia history since spinal cord injury (SCI) onset and the self-reported period prevalence of pneumonia in the past 12 months, and to investigate the relationship between a history of pneumonia (measured at time 1) and health conditions five years later (time 2).
settingMedical University in the Southeastern United States.
methodsParticipants (N = 768) met the following inclusion criteria: traumatic SCI of at least 1-year duration, minimum of 18 years of age, and residual impairment from SCI. Of these, 554 (72%) were successfully followed up, who comprised of our final sample. We used the Poisson regression model to examine the association between pneumonia history at time 1 with the self-reported health conditions at time 2.
resultsAt time 1 measurement, 29% of participants reported pneumonia history since SCI onset. Among them, 14% had pneumonia once, and 15% experienced pneumonia more than once. After controlling for other independent variables, participants who reported multiple episodes of pneumonia at time 1 had a 22% higher likelihood of experiencing a health problem at time 2 than those without a pneumonia history.
conclusionsThe repeated pneumonia history in the past is a significant predictor for future pneumonia episodes and other health conditions. It is important to prevent recurrent pneumonia to enhance both the longevity and quality of life for individuals with SCI.
