Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Concussion Recognition Tool 6 (CRT6™), Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 6 (SCAT6®) and Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool 6 (SCOAT6™): the Italian process.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo ensure wide implementation of the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) recommendations beyond English-speaking countries, the availability of recommended concussion assessment tools in other languages is a key step, especially in countries where few sport-related concussion guidelines exist. We describe the process and adaptations followed in the Italian translation of the latest CISG concussion assessment tools: the Concussion Recognition Tool 6 (CRT6™), the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 6 (SCAT6®) and the Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool 6 (SCOAT6™).
methodsBased on CISG procedures, we engaged in an 8-step process which sequentially included verbatim translation in Italian, reconciliation of translation and cultural adaptation, back-translation (from Italian into English), appraisal of the back-translation, validation of the refined Italian version, review and adjustment by an expert committee, pilot testing in 12 amateur athletes and document finalization.
resultsThe immediate memory test required replacement with Rey Words to be meaningful in Italian, as per the advice of the working group neuropsychologists. The remaining tests did not need any substantial changes except for translation and cultural adaptation. The refinement process continued until the Italian CRT6 ™, SCAT6® and SCOAT6 ™ were rated as 'extremely clear/coherent/grammatically correct' (score 7 on a 7-point Likert scale). The average time needed to carry out assessments using the final Italian version of CRT6 ™, SCAT6® and SCOAT6 ™, was 3.2 min (SD 0.69), 21.12 min (SD 3.16) and 24.50 min (SD 3.18), respectively. These were found to have acceptable clarity, understandability, grammatical correctness, and coherence.
conclusionThe Italian CRT6 ™, SCAT6® and SCOAT6 ™ are the first concussion assessment tools available in the Italian language for both healthcare providers and athletes and enable improvement of concussion management based on the CISG recommendations.
