Understanding the Social Dimensions and Context in HIV Research: Instrument Adaptation is More than
Article in The Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care : JANAC. 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
There is a shortage of health-related questionnaires developed specifically for African countries' cultural contexts and local languages. Researchers have translated some tools to the target local languages. However, poor quality translation, or even high-quality translation, can lead to an instrument that is not comparable to the original language if linguistic nuances and cultural differences are not considered. This can affect the validity and reliability of the research data. The objective of this commentary is to highlight limitations of the commonly accepted forward-backward translation approach and the importance of more rigorous cultural and linguistic adaptation processes in social and behavioral research related to HIV.
