Malay translation, adaptation, and validation of the pediatric Khalfa Hyperacusis Questionnaire for children with autism spectrum disorder.

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
objectiveHyperacusis is characterized by an intolerance to loud sounds, causing discomfort, fear, and facial pain. Its evaluation often includes self-report questionnaires. A recent study in 2023 introduced the pediatric parent-report version of the Khalfa Hyperacusis Questionnaire (P-HQ) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but no Malay version currently exists, creating a barrier for non-English-speaking parents in Malaysia. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the P-HQ into Malay to improve the understanding of hyperacusis among Malay-speaking populations. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study consisted of six stages: (1) forward and backward translation by five independent translators, (2) content validation by six experts, (3) face validity assessments (n = 11), (4) assessment of internal consistency (n = 54), (5) validation of test-retest reliability (n = 23), and (6) assessment of concurrent validity (n = 54) with parents of children with ASD. Participants were purposively recruited from a community autism center located on the east coast of Malaysia.
resultsThe translation process was successful, with experts confirming high relevance and agreement (item-level content validity index = 1.0, modified kappa = 1.0). One item was removed due to low item impact, resulting in a 10-item Malay version of the P-HQ (M-P-HQ). The M-P-HQ demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.884) and moderate to excellent test-retest reliability, with the intraclass correlation coefficient ranging from 0.62 to 0.96. A strong negative Spearman's rank correlation (rs = -0.648) with the auditory filtering subtest of the Malay version of the Short Sensory Profile supported the concurrent validity of the M-P-HQ.
conclusionThe M-P-HQ is a valid, reliable, and culturally appropriate tool for assessing hyperacusis among Malay-speaking parents of children with ASD.
