Factors related to reaching near full of predicted spinal cord injury life expectancy: A prospective cohort study.
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 identify the relationships between health-related quality of life (HRQOL), healthcare utilization, participation, employment, and life satisfaction and longevity after SCI, as defined by surviving to 95% of predicted SCI life expectancy.
settingMedical University in the Southeastern USA.
methodsSelf-report assessment (SRA) data were collected from 1570 participants in 2003, and survival status was determined as of December 31, 2019. To assess the main outcome, we estimated SCI life expectancy, grouping participants into three groups: 1) those that reached 95% of their predicted life expectancy (RLE), 2) those who died before reaching that milestone (DBR), and 3) those alive, who had not yet reached full life expectancy.
resultsThose in group RLE reported more favorable outcomes on nearly all outcomes. Healthwise, they reported fewer days during the past month in poor physical health and poor mental health. They were more likely to be employed at data collection and have been employed since SCI onset. They had higher average scores on each of the three satisfaction domains: home life, vocational, and global satisfaction. They reported spending more hours per day out of bed and more times out of the home during the week.
conclusionsThe findings present support that living a successful life, by maintaining good health, regular participation in social activities, and engagement in employment are keys to longevity and reaching full life expectancy.
