Electromyographic Prediction of Walking Independence in Patients With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury.

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 predict walking independence in patients with incomplete cervical cord injury (ICCI) using electromyography of the trunk and lower extremity during straight-leg raising (SLR). Design: Prospective cohort study. Prediction model using logistic regression. Setting: Single acute-care hospital. Participants: Forty patients equally split between walking dependent and walking independent groups (mean ages: 70.7±14.4 and 63.7±15.4 years; male-to-female ratios: 18:2 and 16:4; total length of stay: 31.2±20.9 and 25.7±16.5 days). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Trunk and lower extremity acceleration and surface electromyography data measured during nondominant SLR and basic information were used to predict the level of walking independence at discharge or transfer from the acute-care hospital. Results: The results showed that the model with the lower extremity motor score (LEMS) and the root mean square (RMS) of the contralateral external oblique (EO) had the lowest Akaike information criterion of 22.24, and both were significant factors in predicting walking independence at discharge or transfer from the acute-care hospital ( Conclusions: A higher LEMS and lower RMS of the contralateral EO during nondominant SLR are significant predictors of walking independence at discharge or transfer from an acute-care hospital in patients with ICCI.
