Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the ICIQ-BD for Brazilian Women With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 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
introduction and hypothesesThe International Continence Society recommends the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Bladder Diary (ICIQ-BD) for the assessment, management, and monitoring of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation will establish a valid and reliable tool for Brazilian women with LUTS.
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 101 women was carried out at the Urogynecology Outpatient Clinic in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, between August 2020 and April 2022. The process of cross-cultural adaptation and validation was executed following the ICIQ Group's protocol. Reviewed by an expert committee, the first pre-test was followed by subsequent adaptations, resulting in a second adapted version that underwent expert revisions. A second pretest was conducted, followed by cross-cultural adaptation and construct validation. Finally, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Bladder Diary-Brazilian Portuguese Version (ICIQ-BD-Br) underwent a validation process.
resultsConstruct validity (IVC >0.78) and internal consistency were satisfactory (α-Cronbach coefficient 0.87-0.94). The following adjustments were made: a specific field was created to document sleep and wake times, and a printed score ranging from 0 to 4 was included in the bladder sensation column. Test-retest reliability ranged from fair to excellent for all analyzed items (Spearman correlation: 0.64-0.95). Criterion validity analysis indicated slight agreement for one of the four symptoms analyzed (nocturia k=0.32). The final version was approved by the ICIQ Group.
conclusionsThe ICIQ-BD-Br has been adapted for use in Brazilian Portuguese and has exhibited robust construct validity and reliability for Brazilian women with LUTS.
