Translation and validation of 'The Knee Society Clinical Rating System' into Spanish.

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
purposeThe Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KSS) is a questionnaire evaluating knee function itself and the patient's ability to walk and climb stairs. The aim of our study is to present the validated translation of KSS into Spanish.
methodsThe validated method of translation-retrotranslation was used to translate KSS into Spanish. Three hundred and sixteen patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty, before surgery and 6 months postoperative, completed the questionnaire (with an orthopedist's help). Psychometric properties of feasibility (percentage of no answers), validity and sensitivity to change (test's ability to detect change in patients' functional status over time) were assessed. In the second part of the study, the translated version of KSS was compared with two already validated questionnaires (SF-36 and WOMAC).
resultsDuring the translation process, item 3 (ROM) presented low appropriateness and null comprehensibility. The alternative writing proposed was 'for every 5°, we sum up 1 point, as if 8° were 1 point, to obtain the maximum scoring of 25 points you should bend more than 200°'. Feasibility: the item 'malalignment' obtained 15 % of missing item at visit 1. The percentage of invalid items was high in both visits (60 and 47 %). VALIDITY: the coefficients of convergent correlation with WOMAC and SF-36 scales confirm the questionnaire's validity. Sensitivity to change: significant differences were found in all cases between the mean scores comparing both visits.
conclusionThe translated version 1.1 of KSS (final version) has shown to be feasible, valid and sensible to changes within the clinical practice of patients undergoing primary knees arthroplasty.
