Translation of the Pictorial Fit-Frail Scale Into the Greek Language and Examination of Its Validity and Reliability.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundFor the evaluation of frailty, a great variety of research tools are used internationally; however, only two have been translated and validated in Greek. The aim of the study was to translate the Pictorial Fit-Frail Scale (PFFS) into the Greek language and examine its validity and reliability.
methodsInitially, the PFFS scale was translated into the Greek language through a six-step process. Subsequently, in a sample of 157 elderly patients (47.1% women), construct validity was examined with the known-groups method using the one-way ANOVA test and criterion concurrent validity by comparison with the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Finally, inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability were checked using the intraclass correlation coefficient.
resultsA comparison of known groups showed that older patients with greater dependence on activities of daily living, greater impairment of cognitive function, reduced mobility, balance, and swallowing disorders, as well as those who were socially withdrawn, scored higher on the PFFS scale, supporting the construct validity. The positive correlation between PFFS and CFS (r = 0.625, p ≤ 0.001) demonstrated the concurrent criterion validity of the PFFS scale. Intraclass correlation was excellent for both inter-rater reliability (0.951 (95% CI: 0.934-0.964)) and test-retest reliability (0.948 (95% CI: 0.930-0.962)).
conclusionThe translated PFFS scale in Greek is a valid and reliable tool.
