Translation and Validation of a Simplified Chinese Version of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Quality of Life Questionnaire.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 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
Background: The Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Quality of Life (ACL-QOL) questionnaire is a widely used and effective scale for quality of life in patients with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Purpose: To translate and adapt the ACL-QOL questionnaire for Chinese patients and evaluate its reliability, validity, and responsiveness in this population. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Translation and adaptation were conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the A merican Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Outcome Committee. Included were 121 patients who were diagnosed with a chronic ACL injury and underwent ACL reconstruction between January 2020 and June 2021. Preoperatively, patients completed the simplified Chinese version of the ACL-QOL (ACL-QOL-C), the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey. The ACL-QOL-C was also completed at 12- and 24-week follow-ups. Psychometric evaluations were then performed and included score distribution, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness. Results: The Cronbach alpha ranged from .905 to .975, indicating excellent internal consistency, and the intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.864 to 0.985, indicating excellent test-retest reliability. The consistency between the above results and our a priori hypotheses was more than 70% (35/42), indicating good construct validity. The standard error of measurement and effect size of the total score and each item of the ACL-QOL-C were >0.8 at the final follow-up, indicating good responsiveness. Conclusion: The English version of the ACL-QOL has been successfully translated into Chinese, and it has been shown to be applicable for the assessment of the quality of life in Chinese patients with chronic ACL injury.
