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

Objective: To compare Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) responses among individuals screened in inpatient rehabilitation versus at home during the first year after spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Cross-sectional secondary analysis. Setting: Depressive symptomology was assessed either during SCI acute inpatient rehabilitation stay (Inpatient Group [IG]) or postdischarge in home setting (Home Group [HG]). Participants: A total of 148 individuals (N=148) with traumatic or nontraumatic SCI with complete PHQ-9 responses (42 HG; 106 IG) were included. Participants were 71% men, with a mean age of 48±19.5 years and a duration of injury (DOI) 62±55 days (between April 2019 and January 2024). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: PHQ-9 scores and prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI). Results: Median DOI in the IG was 35 days versus 78 days in the HG ( Conclusions: Elevated nonsomatic depressive symptom scores, including greater SI in the HG, highlight the heightened vulnerability of individuals transitioning from inpatient rehabilitation to home during the first year after SCI. These findings emphasize the need for systematic mental health screening during the early phase of community reintegration.
