Epidemiology of traumatic spinal cord injury: a comparative study of anxiety or depression incidence between 2000 and 2009 and 2010-2019.

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
backgroundAnxiety and depression are prevalent psychological consequences following patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). This study aims to estimate within-cohort temporal changes to compare the incidence of anxiety or depression among tSCI patients between two decades (2000-2009 and 2010-2019).
methodsA retrospective cohort study of hospitalized tSCI patients (n = 4,960) used to compare the incidence of anxiety or depression within three years post-tSCI between the two decades. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) was estimated using Poisson regression, and Cox regression was assessed the relative risk with adjustment of age, sex, comorbidities, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Catastrophic Illness Card status.
resultsThe incidence rate of anxiety or depression significantly increased from 208.46 to 350.44 per 10,000 person-years (IRR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.35-2.08, p < 0.0001). The highest increase was among patients aged 20-34 years (IRR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.12-3.22, p = 0.0176). Adjusted Cox regression showed that tSCI patients from 2010 to 2019 had a higher risk of anxiety or depression (AHR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.33-2.08, p < 0.0001) than those from 2000 to 2009. The risk was particularly elevated among younger patients, those without a catastrophic illness card (AHR = 1.71, p < 0.0001), and those with lower CCI scores (CCI = 0, AHR = 1.77, p = 0.0003; CCI = 1-2, AHR = 1.79, p = 0.0026).
conclusionsThis study indicated an increasing anxiety or depression in tSCI patients, especially among younger adults and those without catastrophic illness status. Early psychiatric screening, multidisciplinary care, and psychosocial support are critical to improving long-term outcomes.
