Cross-cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Persian version of the Upper Limb Functional Index.

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
Introduction: The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) designed to evaluate both the functional status and the level of participation in patients with upper limb musculoskeletal disorders (ULMSDs). The purpose of this study was translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation of the original ULFI into Persian (ULFI-Pr). Methods: The original ULFI was translated into Persian through double forward and backward translations. Consecutive symptomatic upper limb patients (n = 180, male = 60%, age = 38.21 ± 7.13) were recruited and completed the ULFI-Pr and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaires. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were determined using Cronbach's Alpha and the Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC Results: The original ULFI was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Persian with only minor wording changes. The ULFI-Pr demonstrated high levels of internal consistency (α = 0.91) and test-retest reliability (ICC Conclusion: The ULFI-Pr can be considered as a region-specific, single-factor structure PROM for evaluation of patients with upper limb disorders for clinical and research purposes in Persian language populations.
