Clinical Audit Determining Standard of Care for Musculoskeletal Health in Children With Spinal Cord Disorders.
Article in Topics in spinal cord injury rehabilitation, 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
Background: Pediatric spinal cord disorders (SCD) are rare and devastating. However, evidence on the effect on musculoskeletal health management is limited. Objectives: To investigate the relationships between SCD characteristics and musculoskeletal complications in children with SCD. Methods: Medical records of patients admitted between January 2010 and December 2022 with SCD were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data and the presence of hypercalcemia, fractures, scoliosis, hip dysplasia, spasticity, contractures, calcium, and vitamin D status were obtained ( Results: Traumatic diagnoses represented 36% of patients. Incidence of scoliosis was 41%, hip dysplasia 12%, pathological fractures 9%, spasticity 32%, contractures 27%, hypercalcemia 20%, and vitamin D insufficiency 28% of total. Hypercalcemia was associated with male patients (odds ratio [OR] 4.07, 95% CI 1.03-16.06) and wheelchair users (OR 6.77, 95% CI 1.99-23.84). Nonambulant subjects were at increased risk of having scoliosis (OR 11.69, 95% CI 3.04-44.96), hip dysplasia (OR 55.64, 95% CI 5.59-553.41), contractures (OR 10.72, 95% CI 2.64-43.53), spasticity (OR 3.19, 95% CI 1.14-8.87), and presence of three or more musculoskeletal-related complications (OR 27.03, 95% CI 5.62-130.10). Conclusion: Children with SCD are susceptible to many complications related to musculoskeletal health. This research provides comprehensive data on both traumatic and nontraumatic SCD disease etiologies in Victoria, Australia.
