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
BACKGROUND/
aimWe performed a linguistic validation of the original version of the Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS) into the Moroccan dialect according to Guillemin's guidelines. MATERIALS AND
methodsAfter translating the English version of the ESS according to the standard guidelines, we asked 120 healthy subjects to complete the questionnaire twice with an interval of 10 days. We assess the acceptability and internal reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, while for the test-retest reproducibility we use the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (95% confidence interval (CI)) and the kappa coefficient.
results11-13% of subjects reported excessive sleepiness. The translated version was acceptable. A Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.71 and 0.70 was obtained for the entire 8-item scale on test and retest, respectively. Intra-observer reproducibility (test-retest) was satisfactory for the ESS scale with an ICC (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.618; 0.779). The kappa coefficient was 0.88, indicating excellent agreement.
conclusionThese results indicate that the psychometric properties are adequate compared to the original version. Therefore, this translated version should be used to assess sleep in the Moroccan population.
