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
backgroundThe present study aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the reliability, construct validity, and discriminatory capacity of the Turkish The Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score -Child Questionnaire (KOOS-Child).
methodsThe questionnaire was translated from English to Turkish by two Turkish speaking orthopedic surgeons. Following consensus, the translated version was retranslated to English by a professional translator. A group of experts compared the original and back translated version and decided on a final adapted questionnaire version The study included 119 participants (61 knee problem patients and 58 control patients) aged 8 to 16 years between July 2020 and January 2025. The patients were asked to fill out the KOOS-Child questionnaire and the Children's Quality of Life Questionnaire, which had previously been validated in Turkish. While the demographic characteristics of the groups (age, gender, body mass index (BMI), amount of sports activity) and KOOS-Child Questionnaire scores were compared between the groups, the internal consistency of both groups was examined. In addition, the construct validity and discrimination capacity of the knee pain group were evaluated.
resultsWhen demographic characteristics of the groups were compared, the number of professional athletes in the knee pain group was statistically higher. (p < 0.05) When the KOOS Child Questionnaire scores were compared between the groups, both the subscales and the total score of the knee pain group were low (p < 0.05) It was seen that the knee pain group had high level of internal consistency of other subscales and total scores in both groups, except for the symptoms subscale. In the patient group with knee trauma, it was observed that pain, ADL and quality of life and total scores of the girls were lower than the boys (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe Turkish KOOS-Child questionnaire exhibits excellent reliability and validity, serving as a practical tool for assessing pediatric knee health, particularly in capturing pain and functional limitations.
