Translation and validation of the Neurological Assessment in Neuro-Oncology scale to Brazilian Portuguese.

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 Neurological Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (NANO) scale was elaborated to assess neurologic function in integration with radiological criteria to evaluate neuro-oncological patients in clinical setting and enable the standardization of neurological assessment in clinical trials. The objective of this study is the translation to Brazilian Portuguese and transcultural adaptation of NANO scale in patients with the diagnosis of glioblastoma, brain metastasis and low-grade glioma. Methods: Patients with diagnosis of glioblastoma, brain metastasis, and low-grade glioma were prospectively evaluated between July 2019 and July 2021. The process of translating and cross-culturally adapting the NANO scale included: translation from English to Portuguese, synthesis and initial revision by an expert committee, back-translation from Portuguese to English, a second revision by the expert committee, and the application of the NANO scale. Regarding the reliability of the NANO scale, Cronbach's alpha was employed to measure the internal consistency of all scale items and assess the impact of item deletion. Additionally, Spearman's correlation test was used to evaluate the convergent validity between the NANO scale and Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS). Results: One hundred and seventy-four patients were evaluated. A statistically significant inverse relation ( Discussion: The NANO scale Brazilian Portuguese version proves to be reproducible and valid to evaluate neuro-oncological patients with glioblastoma and brain metastasis, presenting a strong correlation with KPS scale. Further studies are warranted to assess the validity and reliability of the scale in patients diagnosed with low-grade glioma.
