Cross-Cultural Validity and Reliability of the Thai Version of the Simple Shoulder Test.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The Simple Shoulder Test (SST) is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure for shoulder function. However, there is currently no version of the SST for the Thai population. Purpose: To cross-culturally adapt and evaluate the reliability and validity of a Thai version of the SST (Thai SST) for patients with shoulder pathologies, using the Thai version of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score as a comparison tool. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The Thai SST was developed using a standard translation and cross-cultural adaptation process. A total of 75 Thai patients, comprising 73 with rotator cuff tears, 3 with combined rotator cuff tear and secondary stiff shoulder, 2 with combined rotator cuff tear and biceps tendinitis, 1 with isolated adhesive capsulitis, and 1 with isolated long head biceps tendinopathy, completed the Thai SST and the Thai ASES score. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity of the Thai SST were assessed. Results: The 75 participants consisted of 19 men and 56 women with a mean age of 63.16 ± 7.66 years. The Thai SST demonstrated a strong positive correlation with the Thai ASES ( Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the Thai SST had acceptable reliability and validity, making it a suitable patient-reported outcome measure for assessing shoulder function in Thai patients with shoulder problems. The Thai SST can be used to assess the effectiveness of interventions for these shoulder pathologies in Thai patients.
