Validation of the Thai version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS).
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06508944 (Efficacy of Vaginal 17β-Estradiol on the Urinary Storage Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisTo provide a validated Thai language version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) following a standardized procedure and to evaluate its psychometric properties.
methodsAfter IRB approval, the English ICIQ-FLUTS was translated into Thai according to the cross-cultural adaptation process for patient-reported outcome measures. The psychometric properties of the final version of the Thai ICIQ-FLUTS were tested for content validity, internal consistency, construct validity, and test-retest reliability. Patients attending an urogynecology clinic and women from two communities were recruited for this study.
resultsThe final Thai version of the ICIQ-FLUTS was developed and assessed by a panel of clinicians fluent in both languages including the content expert. Women with and without female lower urinary tract symptoms (FLUTS), in whom the translation was pretested, agreed that the final version made sense and was understandable. Among the 288 women who received the questionnaires, 283 (142 attending the clinic and 141 living in the communities) returned the completed questionnaire. The overall internal consistency of the Thai-version questionnaire was high, with a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.849. Symptom scores for filling, voiding, and incontinence in patients attending the clinic were significantly higher than in individuals from the community (p < 0.001). The correlation coefficients between the test and retest among 136 participants for symptoms of filling, voiding, and incontinence were 0.925, 0.769, and 0.921, respectively (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe Thai ICIQ-FLUTS contained satisfactory content and exhibited construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. It is equivalent to the original English version and will be a valuable tool for assessing LUTS in Thai-speaking women.
