1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn sporting activities, patellar tendon is commonly subjected to overuse and it influences the athletes' career especially in elite basketball and volleyball players. A condition specific and self-administrated questionnaire is required for clinical and research purpose to rate disability. The Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment for patellar tendinopathy (VISA-P) questionnaire is widely accepted and a valid tool to assess pain and athletes, suffering from PT, ability to participate in sports. So, the objective of this study is to develop and validate Kannada version of VISA-P questionnaire among Kannada speaking population athletes.

objectiveTo translate VISA-P questionnaire into Kannada and to study reliability and validity of Kannada version. METHODOLOGY: Translation and cross-culture adaptation were performed according to the guidelines followed internationally. Those are: translation, synthesis, back-translation, revision by expert committee, pretesting and appraisal by advisory committee. The psychometric properties were tested by administering the questionnaire to 70 subjects (35 symptomatic and 35 asymptomatic). For test-retest reliability, athletes with patellar tendinopathy were tested twice within a week and test-retest reliability was assessed by Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). The validity was tested by comparing the VISA-P-Kannada questionnaire (VISA-P-K) against Blazina classification of patellar tendinopathy (BCPT) using Spearman correlation coefficient.

resultThe test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC 0.97). Internal consistency was found to be good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.98). The VISA-PK showed significant correlation by comparing against Blazina and Spearman's score (r = 0.72, p < 0.01).

conclusionThe VISA-P-K translation and adaptation processes were successful. The adapted instrument demonstrated good psychometric properties. The VISA-P-K has proven to be reliable and valid tool and can be used in the Kannada speaking patients with patellar tendinopathy.
