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

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity, which are major contributors to rehospitalization and mortality. While overall rehospitalization after SCI is well documented, few studies have focused specifically on early cardiopulmonary readmissions or linked these outcomes with prescription patterns using nationwide registry data. Methods: We linked the Swedish SCI register (SveReh) to the National Patient Register and Prescribed Drug Register. Adults with new-onset SCI admitted for first-time inpatient rehabilitation between 2016 and 2020 were included ( Results: Within 12 months, 42 persons (3.5%) were readmitted for cardiovascular and 43 (3.6%) for respiratory causes; >96% remained event-free. Older age predicted both cardiovascular (HR: 1.02 per year, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00-1.05, Conclusion: Cardiovascular and respiratory readmissions within 1 year after SCI were uncommon but strongly influenced by age, and for respiratory causes, by neurological level. Marked increases in antibiotic prescriptions highlight infection burden, while cardiovascular prescribing reflected age-related comorbidity. These findings identify subgroups who may benefit from targeted preventive follow-up.
