Validation of the Spanish Version of the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) in Patients With Episodic Migraine.

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
introductionThe Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) questionnaire is commonly utilized to assess the impact of headaches in both clinical settings and research. To date, no validated Spanish version of this tool has been published.
objectiveThis study seeks to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the HIT-6 questionnaire for use in patients experiencing episodic migraine.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study aimed at validating this measurement instrument. A total of 100 subjects, both male and female, aged 18 to 65 years, diagnosed with episodic migraine, were included in the analysis. Construct validity was assessed using principal component analysis, test-retest reliability via the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), internal consistency, and convergent validity against the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey and the Migraine Disability Assessment.
resultsThe principal component analysis revealed a two-component structure. The overall HIT-6 scale demonstrated strong test-retest reliability ([ICC = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.83-0.92]), with high reliability for the indirect subscale [(ICC = 0.87; 95% CI = 0.81-0.91)] and excellent reliability for the direct subscale [(ICC = 0.90; 95% CI = 0.85-0.93)]. Internal consistency was also robust (Cronbach's α = 0.834), and the questionnaire showed a significant correlation with MIDAS (r = 0.512; p < 0.001), as well as a moderate correlation with the physical (r = -0.326; p < 0.05) and mental factors (r = -0.429; p < 0.001) of the SF-12.
conclusionsThe Spanish adaptation of the HIT-6 questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for evaluating the impact of episodic migraine on patients' quality of life, confirming the validity of both subscales.
