Changes in subjective well-being among people with chronic spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2026. 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.
objectivesTo investigate the dynamic and changing course of subjective well-being (SWB) over 20 years among people with chronic spinal cord injury.
settingMedical university in the Southeastern United States.
methods1568 individuals from three hospitals completed a self-report assessment (SRA) in 2003 and were followed four times over 20 years. Among them, 372 responded to the most recent follow-up in 2023. Participants met the following inclusion criteria: traumatic SCI of at least 1-year duration, minimum of 18 years of age, and residual impairment from SCI (noncomplete recovery). We used the Life Situation Questionnaire-Revised (LSQ-R) to assess nine aspects of subjective well-being. The multilevel models were applied to both 1568 individuals' sample and 372 individuals' sample to identify trajectories for each of the nine aspects of subjective well-being over 20 years.
resultsAll the nine subscales of LSQ-R had either moderate or substantial test-retest stability over 20 years. The sample of 1568 individuals presented longitudinal changes for all three life satisfaction subscales, and for four life problem subscales. Among the sample of 372 individuals, only one life satisfaction subscale and four life problem subscales showed significant longitudinal changes.
conclusionsOur findings indicate that there was a mixed pattern of SWB changes over time, notably indices of home life satisfaction and economic situation appeared to improve over time, while at the same time their health problems and feeling of social isolation increased.
