Translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) into Spanish: a study protocol.
Article in BMJ open sport & exercise medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the human body, yet it is also the most frequently ruptured. The incidence of Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is increasing due to an ageing population, rising obesity rates and greater sports participation. The Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure widely used to assess clinical and functional outcomes after ATR. However, there is no culturally adapted and validated Spanish version of this tool, limiting its applicability in Spanish-speaking populations. The aim is to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Spanish version of the ATRS following international guidelines and to analyse its psychometric properties for assessing clinical and functional outcomes in patients with ATR. This study protocol outlines a cross-sectional design adhering to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology and Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys guidelines for observational studies and online surveys. The ATRS will be translated and culturally adapted, psychometric analysis will follow COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments standards, including reliability, validity and sensitivity assessments. Participants will include patients treated surgically for ATR in hospitals across Madrid and healthy controls recruited through social media. Sociodemographic, clinical and functional data will also be collected to support the validation process. This study protocol was approved by the Universidad Europea de Madrid Institutional Board (Approval ID: CI 2024/897) prior to data collection based one the Declaration of Helsinki. The study's findings will be distributed to athletes, physicians and academics via peer-reviewed publications and national/international conferences.
