Contributions of authors

RKRP conceived of the review, coordinated the review, culled the searches, extracted the data, performed the analyses, wrote the first draft and edited the final draft. NS culled the searches, extracted the data and edited drafts. LAH culled the searches, checked all data extracted, created the Summary of findings tables, contributed to the write‐up of the review and edited the final draft. The search strategy was formulated through consultation with the Cochrane Injuries Group Trials Search Co‐ordinator.

Declarations of interest

Differences between protocol and review

These are the differences between the protocol and the review.

  • The protocol states that we would "search the Internet to identify relevant websites and conference proceedings". This was not done.

  • The protocol states: "Two review authors (RKRP and NS) will independently screen the results of the search for relevant articles based on the title and abstract." This was done by the three review authors (RKRP, NS and LAH).

  • The protocol states: "Data will be extracted by three review authors (RKRP, NS and LAH) independently." The data were extracted independently by two review authors (RKRP and NS) because the third review author (LAH) was an author on an included trial. LAH and J Bowden checked all data extracted.

  • The protocol states: "The summary of findings tables will include the following outcomes: joint mobility, pain, activity limitations and quality of life". The summary of findings tables include joint mobility, spasticity and pain because neither of the two included trials included measures of activity limitations or quality of life.

  • The protocol states: "Adverse outcomes will be grouped in the following ways: joint subluxations or dislocations, heterotopic ossification, autonomic dysreflexia, fractures, pain and muscle tears". Pain was removed from this list because it was a secondary outcome.

Outcome

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence.
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1Consistency had been downgraded by one point because only one trial is included, and therefore the results cannot be consistent across different trials.
2Indirectness had been downgraded by one point because only one trial is included, and therefore the results cannot be generalised.
3Imprecision has been downgraded by one point because only one trial is included, and therefore the precision of the estimate from this one trial cannot be confirmed.
