Development and validation of a patient-reported checklist for dermatological complications in chronic spinal cord injury.
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
designCross-Sectional.
objectivesThis study aimed to develop and conduct initial validation of a comprehensive, patient-reported checklist for identifying dermatological complications in individuals with chronic SCI.
settingSina Trauma and Surgery Research Center, Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran.
methodsA multiphase, cross-sectional methodological study was conducted. The items were generated via a literature review and expert opinion, followed by content validation with a panel of 11 specialists via the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). After face validation with patient representatives, the final checklist was field-tested in structured interviews with individuals from a national SCI registry. Interrater reliability was assessed with Cohen's kappa.
resultsThe final 16-item checklist demonstrated excellent content validity, with all the items meeting CVR thresholds and achieving high scale-level CVI scores (relevance=0.88, simplicity=0.92, clarity=0.89). Interrater reliability was excellent Cohen's kappa = 0.89). The tool was administered to 139 individuals with chronic SCI (mean age 43.9 years; 76.8% male), 44.6% (n = 62) of whom reported at least one complication. Among the 102 complications identified, those related to fungal infections (25.5%) and early-stage pressure injuries (20.6%) were the most prevalent. The mean onset time for the first complication was 2.7 months' post-injury.
conclusionsThe Spinal Cord Injury Skin Complications Checklist (SCI-SCC) is a valid and reliable patient-reported tool for screening dermatological issues in this population. Its integration into routine clinical practice can facilitate standardized monitoring, promote early detection, and ultimately improve patient-centered care for individuals living with chronic SCI.
