Validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of KOOS-ACL questionnaire.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to adapt the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (KOOS-ACL) into Turkish and to assess its validity and reliability.
methodsThe adaptation process involved translation, back-translation, and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire. Totally 133 patients who had a diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament tear was recruited. The reliability of the Turkish version of the KOOS-ACL was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, item-total correlations, and ICC. EFA and CFA were performed to evaluate construct validity, supported by KMO and Bartlett's test results. Criterion validity was examined through correlations with IKDC scores, and discriminative power was assessed using an independent samples t-test.
resultsIKDC score for evaluating knee function was 59.84 ± 21.74. The composite KOOS-ACL-Tr score was 61.95 ± 25.19. Cronbach's Alpha value was found to be 0.952 demonstrating high reliability. KOOS-ACL-Tr scores showed a linear positive correlation with the time elapsed since injury and IKDC scores (p < 0.001) establishing concurrent validity.
conclusionsThe adapted Turkish version of the KOOS-ACL is a valid and reliable scale intended for use in monitoring patients with ACL injuries.
