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

aimWe aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the International Knee Documentation Committee-subjective knee form (IKDC) in Romanian.

methodThe original (US) IKDC-subjective knee form was translated according to recommended guidelines. Validity was tested using Spearmans's correlation coefficient between score sand test-retest reproducibility. Reliability and internal consistency were determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

resultsA total of 106 data sets were available for processing. The average age was 52 years and the male to female ratio was 40:66. Fifty-five subjects repeated the form after an average of 4 days. There were no floor or ceiling effects (range 3.4-74.7). There was a strong correlation between the first and repeated administration of the IKDC-subjective knee form (

conclusionThe Romanian translation of the IKDC-subjective knee form is a valid, consistent and reproducible outcome measure in patients with knee pain and dysfunction.
