[Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA): translation and cultural adaptation to German-speaking areas].
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveThe scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA) is a feasible assessment for the classification and evaluation of therapeutic interventions. In order to provide access to the SARA in German, the aim of this work was to translate the SARA into German and to adapt it according to international guidelines for German-speaking countries.
methodThe process involved six steps. The comprehensibility of the scale was assessed using interviews with potential users.
resultsA total of nine physiotherapists and six physicians working in various clinical settings were interviewed, seven of them worked in Germany and four each in Austria and Switzerland. The interviews led to a refined version of the translation. The comprehensibility testing revealed no country-specific differences.
conclusionA German version of the SARA authorized by the co-author of the original publication, is now available. The results provide methodological insights into the translation process of observation-based standardized assessments.
