Predictors of Paid Employment Status Among Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury in South Korea: An Exploratory Study Using Random Forest Analysis.
Article in Annals 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
Objective: To explore factors affecting the paid employment of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in South Korea.
methodsData collected from previously and currently community-dwelling adults with SCI (n=538) who responded to the 125-item self-reported International Spinal Cord Injury Survey questionnaire were analyzed using random forest and decision tree modeling.
resultsIn total, 75.1% responders were male, 53.9% were unmarried, 90.1% lived with family, and 84.8% received daily living assistance; the most frequent education level was high school or below (56.1%), and the percentage of participants with paraplegia and complete injuries was 57.2% and 58.7%, respectively. Average age and mean SCI duration were 46.31 and 15.25 years, respectively. Factors with a positive effect on engaging in paid employment included greater total monthly household income, younger age, higher self-efficacy, better quality of life and satisfaction, access to vocational rehabilitation services, absence of disability benefits, no need for daily living assistance, greater independence, no difficulties engaging in activities, absence of sleep disturbances, higher education level, and being unmarried. Conclusion: Employing the random forest method and a large dataset, we identified key predictors of paid employment, corroborating previous findings and establishing a foundation for policy development for employment opportunities.
