Psychometric properties of the Mandarin Chinese version of the KIDSCREEN-52 health-related quality of life questionnaire in adolescents: a cross-sectional study.

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
purposeTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Mandarin Chinese version of KIDSCREEN-52 health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaire.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with two cohorts of school-based data in the urban areas of Weifang, China. 4385 and 841 representative adolescents aged 11-17 years have recruited into the baseline and test-retest group, respectively. Psychometric analyses included feasibility, item and dimension properties, reliability, construct validity, measurement invariance, convergent and discriminant validity, and known-group validity.
resultsThe response rates of both baseline and test-retest surveys were more than 90%. Low missing values were found (0.02-1.92%) across ten dimensions. The measurement properties of items were satisfactory. Noteworthy ceiling effects were observed for ten dimensions (6.75-31.84%), while the observed floor effects were negligible (0.02-1.37%). Internal consistency was robust with Cronbach's alpha (0.819-0.959), while the test-retest reliability was acceptable with the ICCs (0.724-0.849). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the ten-dimensional structure and supported the configural and metric invariance across gender and age groups. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the KIDSCREEN-52 and the PedsQL™ 4.0 were stronger in comparable dimensions than those in less comparable dimensions, demonstrating the convergent and discriminant validity. In most dimensions, statistically significant and medium or large effect size differences were found across socioeconomic and mental health status, supporting the known-group validity.
conclusionThese findings demonstrate that the Mandarin Chinese version of KIDSCREEN-52 seems to work well in a Chinese context, and is a psychometrically valid and reliable HRQOL instrument.
