Validation of Bangla version of the epworth sleepiness scale: a tool for assessing daytime sleepiness.

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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the ESS Bangla version (ESS-B) for Bangla speaking population of Bangladesh.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 12 months. A total of 148 Bangla-speaking individuals aged 12-65 years were participated in this study. The original ESS was translated into a Bangla ESS version through several stages including translation, backtranslation, expert review and pretesting. All participants were tested with this questionnaire and retested after two weeks of test. Psychometric properties of ESS-B including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and validity, were assessed along with exploratory factor analysis.
resultsThe ESS-B demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.73. The test-retest reliability of all items including the overall total scores were also satisfactory (τb ranged from 0.496 to 0.662). Convergent validity was supported by a moderately positive correlation with 'daytime dysfunction' of PSQI-B tool (τb = 0.309, p < 0.05), while divergent validity was indicated by a weak positive correlation with 'trouble to relax' component of GAD 7-B tool (τb = 0.175, p < 0.05). Exploratory factor analysis revealed two distinct factor structures corresponding to sedentary activity and active engagement.
conclusionThe ESS-B exhibited satisfactory reliability and validity among the Bangla-speaking population of Bangladesh.
