Translation, Evaluation and Validation of the Adult Strabismus -20 (AS-20) Questionnaire in Swedish.

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
Purpose: To translate and validate the Adult Strabismus 20 (AS-20) questionnaire, a health-related quality of life questionnaire specifically devised for patients with strabismus. Methods: The AS-20 was translated in accordance with the principles of good practice for the translation and cultural adaptation process for patient-related outcomes (PRO) according to the methodology recommended by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcome Research (ISPOR). The translation, evaluation, and validation were performed in several steps. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods and engaged 31 final-year orthoptic students in workshops, as well as 19 experts (experienced clinical orthoptists), 17 laymen (members of the public), and 17 patients from national eye clinics. The final translated questionnaire was tested for reliability and validity in 68 adults with strabismus by internal consistency using Cronbach´s alpha and content and construct validity using the Rasch analysis. Results: The Swedish AS-20 showed a high level of internal consistency. Cronbach´s alpha was 0.95 for the psychosocial subscale and 0.92 for the functional subscale. However, the Rasch analysis indicated that both items and responses should be condensed to achieve content and construct validity. Conclusion: The thorough translation and evaluation process resulted in a validated AS-20 questionnaire for use in the Swedish language, and shows reliability as an instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults with strabismus in a clinical setting.
