Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation: A Critical Step in Multi-National Survey Studies.
Review in Journal of Korean medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Survey studies are valuable tools that can quickly and cost-effectively collect data from diverse populations across different cultures and locations. When conducted across multiple countries, careful translation and cross-cultural adaptation are necessary to maintain the validity and reliability of the findings. This point is particularly important for patient-facing questionnaires, especially in fields like psychology and sexual medicine. Translation to other languages also helps the researchers reach a more diverse and broader sample, which enables the generalizability of the findings/conclusions. An accurate translation would ensure higher response rates. Careful and rigorous selection of translators, following a translation guideline, ensuring sufficient time for the translation process, using a checklist, and quality assessment following translation can increase the accuracy of the translation. At each step, the specific field of the questionnaire should be taken in consideration. The objective of this article is to underscore the necessity of translation and cross-cultural adaptation in survey studies, as well as to discuss the methods to combat against challenges experienced in the translation process.
