Portuguese validation of the Urinary Incontinence-Specific Quality-of-Life Instrument: I-QOL.
Article in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisOur objective was to translate and validate a Portuguese version of the Urinary Incontinence-Specific Quality-of-Life Instrument (I-QOL), a questionnaire that is widely used in clinical trials.
methodsFifty patients completed the same questionnaire twice at a 2-week interval. During the first visit, we conducted a face-to-face interview and collected demographic data. The King's Health Questionnaire was completed during the same visit for comparisons.
resultsThe results showed that the Portuguese version of the I-QOL has very good psychometrics properties. Reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha (0.93), reproducibility was calculated through the intraclass correlation coefficient (0.88), construct validity was determined by comparing the I-QOL scores and King's Health scores, and discriminant validity was calculated by comparing the total I-QOL scores with measures of gravity.
conclusionsWe conclude that the Portuguese version of the I-QOL is a very good tool for the evaluation quality-of-life in women with urinary incontinence in Portuguese-speaking countries.
