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

STUDY

designCross-sectional descriptive survey.

objectivesTo assess participation levels, types of leisure-time activities, and barriers to engagement among people with spinal cord injury (SCI), and to identify demographic and functional factors influencing participation.

settingWestern Denmark.

methodsBetween September and November 2023, adults with SCI were invited to complete a digital survey. Inclusion criteria were any level of SCI. Data collected included demographic and injury-related characteristics, types and frequency of leisure-time activities, social context, and perceived participation barriers. Analyses involved descriptive statistics, prevalence proportions, and prevalence proportion ratios.

resultsOf 1259 eligible persons, 479 completed the survey. Participants engaged in a median of three different leisure-time activities over the past year. In the previous four weeks, 19% reported participating in leisure activities less than once per week. Participation in non-social and social activities less than once per week was reported by 44 and 37%, respectively. Lower participation was more common among persons with shorter educational attainment and reduced mobility at 100 meters. Most activities were self-organized or provided by commercial providers. The most commonly reported barriers were physical limitations, time constraints, and activity suitability.

conclusionsParticipation in leisure-time activities among people with SCI varies widely. In this study, social engagement, education level, and mobility were observed to be related to patterns of participation. Addressing physical, contextual, and logistical barriers through tailored interventions may enhance leisure-time engagement and support more holistic rehabilitation outcomes.
