Knowledge of, Attitude towards, and Preventive Behavior towards Tuberculosis questionnaire: translation and cross-cultural adaptation for use in Brazil.
Article in Jornal brasileiro de pneumologia : publicacao oficial da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisilogia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 translate the Knowledge of, Attitude towards, and Preventive Behavior towards Tuberculosis questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese and adapt it for use in Brazil.
methodsThis methodological study followed internationally recommended guidelines for translation and cross-cultural adaptation. After permission was obtained from the original authors, the process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation began, including translation into Brazilian Portuguese by bilingual translators, synthesis of the translations, back-translation for similarity analysis, revision, and preparation of the final version. A pretest was conducted on 68 medical students.
resultsMost of the questionnaire items showed strong content similarity, with minor semantic differences. The content validity index for the questionnaire was 0.882, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.682, 0.809, and 0.613 for knowledge of tuberculosis, attitudes toward tuberculosis, and preventive behavior toward tuberculosis, respectively. Cronbach's alpha and omega coefficients were a = 0.717, w1 = 0.673, w2 = 0.673, and w3 = 0.520.
conclusionsThe process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Knowledge of, Attitude towards, and Preventive Behavior towards Tuberculosis questionnaire was successful, making the Brazilian Portuguese version of the questionnaire reliable for reproducibility. It can be used in order to collect tuberculosis-related data and support changes in health education curricula.
