Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation with Preliminary Validation of GCOS-24 for Use in Spain.
Article in Journal of genetic counseling, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim in this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Genetic Counseling Outcome Scale (GCOS-24) for use in Spain and to carry out a preliminary psychometric validation in a sample of Spanish patients. With oversight by an expert panel, forward and backward translations were conducted to create the draft Spanish GCOS-24. Fourteen patients were recruited from a clinical genetics service in Madrid, Spain, to participate in cognitive interviews designed to explore readability and interpretability of the draft. Following qualitative analysis of interview transcripts, a final version of the Spanish GCOS-24 was agreed with the expert panel. No significant cross-cultural differences were identified. The Spanish GCOS-24 was then completed prior to and 2-4 weeks after genetic counseling by 59 patients attending the service, and data were analysed using analysis of variance. Preliminary psychometric validation of the Spanish GCOS-24 showed significantly higher GCOS-24 scores after genetic counseling (p < 0.0001), with good internal consistency (α = 0.84) and sensitivity to change over time, with a medium-to-large size effect (Cohen's d = 0.70). This compares well with the original English language GCOS-24. Findings demonstrate that the Spanish GCOS-24 has potential for use in evaluating clinical genetics services in Spain, but would benefit from assessment of test-retest reliability as well as structural and construct validity.
