The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the pectus carinatum body image quality of life questionnaire.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06009601 (Are Pectus Deformities a Projection of Spinal Pathologies?The Relationship Between Pectus Deformities and Spinal Pathologies), which is not on this map.

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
purposeThe present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire (PeCBI-QOL), which was originally created in American English in patients with pectus carinatum (PC).
methodsThe study included 52 volunteer patients with PC, aged 10-18 years. Cronbach α was used to assess internal consistency. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to estimate the test-retest reliability. Construct validity was analyzed with the Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire (PEEQ).
resultsThe reliability of the Turkish version of the PeCBI-QOL was found to have acceptable to excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient = 0.701-950). Test-retest reliability calculated for investigating the reliability of the questionnaire over time was found to be excellent (ICC = 0.817-0.983). Construct validity of the PeCBI-QOL (child and parent form) was found to be correlated with all subscales in the PEEQ questionnaire (r = - 0.425 to 897, p < 0.001) except the treatment motivation subscale (r = 0.033-0.111, p = 0.439-0.816).
conclusionWe determined that the Turkish version of the PeCBI-QOL questionnaire was valid and reliable for the assessment of body image and quality of life in Turkish patients with PC. PeCBI-QOL questionnaire, a self-assessment one, will assist Turkish clinicians who wish to assess body image and quality of life of patients with PC.
