Cross-cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the pediatric constipation score-parent report in pediatric functional constipation in an Iranian population.

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
Aim: We evaluated the Persian version of the pediatric constipation score-parent report (PCS) validity and reliability. Background: Functional constipation in children results in physical and psychological problems. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize a questionnaire to assess the health-related quality of life in children with chronic constipation. Methods: First, our team translated the English version of the questionnaire into the Persian language. Second, the psychometric properties of the Persian version were collected in 149 children with functional constipation referred to a pediatrics hospital by an expert team. We assessed content validity (CV) through the CV index (CVI) and CV ratio (CVR). The construct validity was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis, and reproducibility was tested based on test-retest reliability using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's α. we also evaluated the ceiling or floor. Results: Results showed acceptable CVI in relevancy, clarity, and simplicity, acceptable CVR for all items, moderate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.548), and almost perfect reproducibility (ICC=0.93). No ceiling or floor effect was seen. Conclusion: The Persian version of PCS showed good validity and reliability in children with functional constipation in Iran. Therefore, we can use it in clinical and research domains in Persian-speaking countries.
