Cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Persian translation of the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI).

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 Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) is the most commonly used patient-reported outcome measure to record the quality of life in patients with shoulder instability. The current study aimed to translate the WOSI into the Persian language and evaluate its psychometric properties.
methodsThe translation procedure of the WOSI was performed according to a standard guideline. A total of 52 patients were included in the study and responded to the Persian WOSI, Oxford shoulder score (OSS), Oxford shoulder instability score (OSIS), and disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH). A sub-group of 41 patients responded for the second time to the Persian WOSI after an interval of 1-2 weeks. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), measurement error, minimal detectable change (MDC), and floor and ceiling effect were analyzed. The hypothesis testing method was used to assess construct validity by calculating Pearson correlation coefficient between WOSI and DASH, OSS, and OSIS.
resultsCronbach's alpha value was 0.93, showing strong internal consistency. Test-retest reliability was good to excellent (ICC = 0.90). There was no floor and ceiling effect. The standard error of measurement and MDC were 8.30% and 23.03%, respectively. Regarding construct validity, 83.3% of the results agreed with hypotheses. High correlations were observed between WOSI and DASH, OSS and OSIS (0.746, 0.759 and 0.643, respectively) indicating excellent validity for the Persian WOSI.
conclusionThe current study results demonstrated that the Persian WOSI is a valid and reliable instrument and can be used in the clinic and research for Persian-speaking patients with shoulder instability.
