Cross-cultural adaptation of the State Behavioral Scale to Brazilian Portuguese.

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
objectiveTo perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the State Behavioral Scale to Brazilian Portuguese, assess its psychometric quality and use the scale to evaluate the level of sedation of patients on mechanical ventilation in the pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital.
methodsAfter receiving authorization by the main author, the State Behavioral Scale was adapted according to the following steps: translation of the original version into Portuguese; synthesis of the Portuguese versions; evaluation by a committee of judges; reverse translation by native speakers of the source language; synthesis of retroversions; pretest; and evaluation of psychometric quality.
resultsThe adapted scale was administered to 20 patients by four evaluators, who performed daily evaluations in pairs simultaneously and independently. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.939 (p < 0.001) for the State Behavioral Scale and 0.976 (p < 0.001) for the COMFORT-B scale. The two scales were strongly correlated, with Spearman coefficients ranging from 0.884 to 0.908 (p < 0.001). In the study sample, most children (n = 43 observations; 48.9%) had scores of -1 (responsive to light touch or voice) or 0 (awake and able to calm down), which corresponded to light sedation.
conclusionThe translated and adapted version of the State Behavioral Scale showed high interrater agreement and high correlation with the COMFORT-B scale. The application of the scale showed an adequate level of sedation in most patients.
