Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of EAT-26 questionnaire in Urdu.
Article in MethodsX, 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
EAT-26 questionnaire is used globally to screen people for the risk of eating disorders. In addition to this, the EAT-26 is being used in its original English version in research and clinical settings due to unavailability of the Urdu version. Therefore, the aim of this study was to introduce the Urdu version of EAT-26 to clinicians and academicians in Pakistan, interested in the assessment of population at risk of eating disorders. After getting the formal permission for translation by Dr. D. M. Garner, WHO guidelines were followed for the translation and adaptation process. Two independent translators with psychological background worked under the supervision of a lead to produce the definitive version following six steps of translation and adaptation. Cognitive interviews and focused group discussions helped in the assessment process for the understanding level of translated Urdu version. The pre-final version showed comprehension and acceptability during initial pilot testing.•The final translated version of EAT-26 in Urdu will be available on Internet to use. It is expected that the use of EAT-26 will be widespread in Pakistan, aiming at the assessment of eating disorders.•The Urdu version of EAT-26 is finalized, and ready to use by researchers and clinicians in Pakistan.
