Adaptation and validation of the King's Health Questionnaire in Portuguese women with urinary incontinence.
Trial report in International urogynecology journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07306611 (Regenerative Treatment of Female Genital Atrophy), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) in women is a problem of public health with psychological repercussions in various contexts of life. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) in women with UI to Portugal.
methodsFor the adaptation, a multistep forward-back translation protocol was used. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were used to validate the KHQ. The evaluation of the psychometric properties involved the assessment of validity, reliability, and test-retest stability in 103 women. A factor analysis was conducted to explore the underlying factor structure of KHQ. Inter-domain correlation was calculated for convergent and discriminant validity assessment.
resultsExploratory factor analysis identified three factors "personal limitations and daily life", "emotions and social relationships" and "urinary symptoms". Indicators of test-retest stability showed almost perfect agreement with a mean intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.937. Internal consistency was found to be high (Cronbach's alfa > 0.7). Furthermore, the Portuguese version of the KHQ significantly correlates with the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, supporting construct validity.
conclusionsThe Portuguese version of the KHQ was found to be a valid and reliable measure of the quality of life in women with UI in Portugal, being relevant to both clinical practice and research.
