Perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness in persons living with spinal cord injuries and disorders.
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
designLittle is known about the factors associated with perceived burdensomeness (PB) and thwarted belongingness (TB) in persons living with SCI/D. Similarly, limited studies have examined the Interpersonal Need Questionnaire (INQ) specifically among this population to measure these concepts.
objectivesTo identify variables independently associated with PB and thwarted belongingness TB in individuals living with SCI/D using the INQ.
settingA random sample of community-dwelling Veterans with SCI/D who used Veteran Health Administration healthcare services between 2017-2022.
methodsA cross-sectional, national survey was conducted in 2023 via telephone to collect PB and TB responses along with demographic, injury, and health characteristics. Independent t-tests and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were performed for bivariate comparisons.
resultsThe overall sample (n = 92) had a mean (SD) PB score of 14 (9.6) and mean (SD) TB score of 28 (13). Individuals with SCI/D who reported significantly higher (p < .05) PB and TB were older at injury onset (60+ years), reported fair/poor general health, had greater frequency of poor physical and mental health days, had dysfunctional sleep, and bowel dysfunction.
conclusionsSubgroups of individuals with SCI/D often have strained relationships and social participation barriers post-SCI/D, that may result in feeling like a burden to others and a lack of belongingness. Efforts to reduce feelings of burdensomeness and improve belongingness should begin by focusing on individuals who are older when they sustain their SCI/D, report poor general, physical and mental health, and experience dysfunctional sleep and bowel complications.
