Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of a Self-Reported Sizing Me Up and a Parent-Proxy Sizing Them Up: Obesity Specific Health- Related Quality of Life Measures.

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
Objective: Investigating the validity and reliability of the Turkish versions of the obesity-specific health-related quality of life perception scales for children and parents , Sizing Me Up/Sizing Them Up (SMU/STU), was the aim of this study. Materials and Methods: Sizing me up/sizing them up were translated into Turkish following a standardized translation procedure. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, discriminant and convergent validity, as well as confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were all assessed. Results: Sizing me up /sizing them up had a total scale Cronbach's alpha of 0.873, 0.872. In the test-retest evaluations, significant correlation was found in the SMU (except the Teasing/ Marginalization subscale), while no correlation was found in the Physical Functioning, Teasing/ Marginalization, School and Mealtime Difficulties subscales in the STU. The Pediatric Quality of Life Generic Core Scales (PedsQL) total mean score and the SMU/STU total mean scores exhibited a significant correlation (r=0.671, P < .0001/r=0.663, P < .001). Regarding the SMU total scale score and other subscale scores, excluding the Social Avoidance subscale, and the STU total scale score and other subscale scores, excluding Mealtime and School Functioning, a significant difference was found between the OB and non-OB samples. In CFA, the com- parative fit index (CFI) and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) values were not compatible with the expected values. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that both scales are suitable for use in the Turkish context and showed the validity and reliability of the Turkish versions of the SMU/STU; however, some inconsistencies were found in the items related to social avoidance in the SMU scale and posi- tive social attributes, mealtime challenges, and school functioning in the STU, so it is recom- mended that these items should be interpreted separately and carefully when evaluating scale scores by researchers or clinicians.
