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
backgroundPatients with Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases, including axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), may suffer from stressors like pain and functional impairments leading to limitations in their self-perceived health status. The COping with Rheumatic Stressors (CORS) questionnaire was developed to analyze how patients cope with these stressors. The CORS is currently not available in German.
objectiveFirst, to translate, cross-culturally adapt and to linguistically validate the original Dutch CORS into German. Second, to test the pre-final German translation through cognitive debriefing in patients with axSpA. METHODOLOGY: The original Dutch CORS underwent a multistep cross-cultural adaptation process, as described by Beaton. It was first independently translated into German by bilingual Dutch-German lay and expert translators. Subsequently, it was translated back from the German version into Dutch. Remaining discrepancies were resolved by a scientific committee, resulting in a pre-final German version. This version was then tested through cognitive debriefing by 10 patients with axSpA across a broad spectrum of sociodemographic backgrounds.
resultsForward and backward translations of the CORS revealed minor discrepancies, mainly based on the degree of formal versus informal language usage, minor semantic errors or unusual syntax, which led to minor modifications in the wording. Reviewed by the scientific committee, the pre-final consensus German version was linguistically validated by cognitive debriefing by 10 patients with axSpA. Cognitive debriefing confirmed and ensured closest linguistic validity for German in Germany and highest equivalence to the Dutch original version.
conclusionThe German CORS was shown to have high cross-cultural and face validity for the assessment of coping with rheumatic stressors.
