Adaptation of the disease-related apathy scale in adults with epilepsy into Turkish: A methodological study.

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
objectiveThis study was conducted to culturally adapt the Epilepsy-Related Apathy Scale in Adults with Epilepsy (E-RAS) to Turkish and to assess its psychometric properties in adult epilepsy patients.
methodsA total of 172 epilepsy patients receiving care at the Neurology clinic and outpatient clinic of Fırat University Hospital from February to July 2023 were included in this methodological investigation. The E-RAS was translated into Turkish, and its content and construct validity were thoroughly examined. Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was evaluated through item analyses, internal consistency analysis, composite reliability coefficient, and mean explained variance analysis.
resultsThe factor loadings of the scale items ranged from 0.66 to 0.89. The fit index values of the scale were X SIGNIFICANCE: The Turkish adaptation of E-RAS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring apathy in adult epilepsy patients. Its use in clinical practice is strongly recommended. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: The E-RAS scale can be used to assess apathy in adults with epilepsy. The was determined that the adapted Turkish form had a similar structure to the original scale. It was determined that the E-RAS scale is valid and reliable in Turkish culture. The fact that the Turkish adaptation of the scale is similar to the original structure and other adapted cultures is a factor that facilitates its use and acceptance in international comparisons. The scale can be used to assess apathy in adults with epilepsy.
