Validity and reliability of the Persian version of the PRAFAB questionnaire in Iranian women with urinary incontinence.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) is a common disorder in women that can affect a person's quality of life. There are several instruments to assess the severity of urinary incontinence. One of the common tools is the Protection, Amount, Frequency, Adjustment, Body image (PRAFAB) questionnaire. Therefore, this study was performed with the aim of assessing the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the PRAFAB questionnaire.
methodsFirst, the English version of the questionnaire was translated into Persian. Second, the psychometric properties of the Persian version were collected in 60 women with urinary incontinence referred to Al-Zahra Hospital by an expert team. Content validity (CV) was evaluated through CV index (CVI) and CV ratio (CVR). Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and reproducibility was tested based on test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's α.
resultsThe results showed acceptable CVI in relevancy, clarity, and simplicity, acceptable CVR for all items, good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.738) and excellent repeatability (ICC = 0.98).
conclusionThe Persian version of the PRAFAB questionnaire has acceptable validity and reliability and in future it can be used as a suitable evaluation instrument to assess urinary incontinence in Iranian women.
