Validation of the Korean Version of the 24-Item Early-Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire: A Multicenter Study from the Korean Research Society of Spinal Deformity.
Article in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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: A 24-item early-onset scoliosis questionnaire (EOSQ-24) has been developed as a valid tool for assessing the physical and emotional function of patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS). Previous studies that conducted transcultural adaptation of the original EOSQ-24 into other languages have demonstrated the high reliability of the questionnaire. However, a Korean version of the EOSQ-24 is not available, limiting optimal patient assessment in this nation. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop and validate a Korean version of EOSQ-24. Methods: The original English version of the EOSQ-24 was cross-culturally adapted following standard guidelines. The final version of the Korean EOSQ-24 was prospectively applied to a group of patients who were native Korean speakers. Internal consistency was evaluated using the Cronbach α coefficient and item-total correlations. The mean, standard deviation, floor effect, and ceiling effect of each item were also assessed. Results: A total of 102 caregivers of patients with EOS (45 males and 57 females) completed the Korean EOSQ-24. The patients' average age was 6.39 ± 2.16 years. The Cronbach α coefficient for the 24-item scale was 0.942, indicating excellent reliability. The corrected item-total correlation coefficients ranged between 0.449 and 0.788. The mean value of the EOSQ-24 questionnaire was 3.19. Floor and ceiling effects for all questionnaires were below 30%, which could be considered acceptable. Conclusions: Our study successfully developed and validated the Korean version of the EOSQ-24, providing a reliable instrument for assessing the physical and emotional well-being of patients with EOS and their caregivers in the Korean context. The widespread adoption of the Korean EOSQ-24 in clinical practice and research settings can enhance the quality of care and improve outcomes for individuals affected by EOS in Korea.
