Medical complications in children with central nervous system injuries during inpatient rehabilitation.
Observational study in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 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
objectiveTo investigate the occurrence and consequences of medical complications during inpatient rehabilitation of children with central nervous system (CNS) injury.
designA prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary rehabilitation centre. SUBJECTS: Participants aged 2 to 17 years with acquired CNS injury requiring multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation.
methodsData were collected from medical charts and questionnaires on admission and discharge, assessing predefined complications and associated impacts on the rehabilitation process.
resultsOf the 64 participants, 59 experienced a total of 183 instances of medical complications, comprising 19 distinct complication types. Most common were sleep disturbances, pain, -constipation, anaemia, infections, spasticity, and malnutrition. No significant correlation was observed between the occurrence of complications and age, gender, or diagnosis group. In total, 74% of the complications were found to have no impact on the rehabilitation process; however, malnutrition, infections, and spasticity could notably lead to interrupted or prolonged stays, altered rehabilitation goals, and worsened functional prognoses.
conclusionMedical complications frequently occur during inpatient rehabilitation. While many have no significant consequences, malnutrition, infections, and spasticity in particular warrant further attention clinically and in future research.
