Quality of the adaptation procedures and psychometric properties of the scale of oral health outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5): a systematic review.
Synthesis in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the quality of the cross-cultural adaptations and psychometric properties of the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5).
methodsA systematic search was performed in three databases, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Dentistry and Oral Science Source (EBSCO). Studies relating to the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of SOHO-5 were included. The quality of cross-cultural adaptation was assessed in five aspects including translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert committee review, and pretesting. The Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist was used to assess the psychometric properties in seven domains including responsiveness, internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, and structural, construct, and cross-cultural validity.
resultsThe search identified 162 papers for screening; from these, 107 articles and 9 systematic reviews were excluded. 21 full papers were retrieved and 6 studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. Out of six, two reported all five aspects of cross-cultural adaptation procedures. Regarding the psychometric properties, none of the studies evaluated all aspects of psychometric properties. Almost all of the studies reported internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.71 to 0.90), test-retest reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient 0.46-0.98), and construct validity. None reported the cross-cultural validity and responsiveness of the measures.
conclusionWhile these studies provided satisfactory results regarding the validity and reliability of SOHO-5, the majority of the included studies did not report all domains of the cross-cultural adaptations and psychometric properties. Overall, the quality of the cross-cultural adaptations and psychometric properties of the included studies is doubtful. Future research should follow the guidelines to assess all aspects of psychometric properties and adaptation procedures in cross-cultural settings.
