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
backgroundAmerican Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS) is a reliable and reproducible measurement tool which is commonly used for the assessment of foot and ankle conditions. In this study we aimed to translate and assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of AOFAS questionnaire.
methodsIn this study, we enrolled 53 patients with ankle and hindfoot conditions. Our study was conducted according to five staged cross-cultural adaption steps including translation, synthesis, back translation, expert committee review, and pretesting. After that reliability of the subjective parts calculated by Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the reliability of the objective items estimated using Cohen's kappa test. Also, construct validity was assessed by testing the Persian AOFAS against the SF-36 questionnaire.
resultsChronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.696, which was considered acceptable. Furthermore, the test-retest reliability measured by using the ICC for the subjective subscales was 0.853 (
conclusionIn our study, Persian translation of AOFAS demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability with no need to be culturally adapted.
