Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the HCT frailty scale for hematopoietic stem cell transplant candidates: an observational study.
Article in Hematology, transfusion and cell therapy. 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
introductionHematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment option for patients with hematologic malignancies. The aim of this study is to validate the Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Frailty Scale in a Chilean population.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional scale validation study. The sample consisted of patients with various hematologic malignancies who were transplantation candidates. The study had two stages: (1) translation (forward and backward) and (2) psychometric analysis, including face validity, test-retest reliability, and content validity. Descriptive analyses included mean, standard deviation, and the 95 % confidence interval. Reliability was assessed with Spearman's correlation, and content validity used Kendall's W test.
resultsFifty-four patients (53.7 % women) were included, with multiple myeloma being the most frequent diagnosis (33.3 %). Positive and strong correlations were identified (Spearman's Rho [ρ]: 1.0; p-value <0.001) for all items on the scale. Regarding content validity, there was agreement among evaluators for the categories of relevance and coherence (p-value <0.01; Kendall's W range: 0.13-0.17) but not for "clarity" (p-value = 0.11; Kendall's W: 0.07). Some terms in the content were adjusted without affecting the overall structure of the scale. In the retest analysis, descriptive values were similar to the initial test.
conclusionThe Spanish version of the Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Frailty Scale for Chile is conceptually and linguistically equivalent to the original instrument. Additionally, it demonstrated adequate psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability.
