Translation and Validation of the Persian ICIQ Nocturia and Nocturia Quality of Life.

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
introduction and hypothesisWe aimed to translate and validate the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Nocturia (ICIQ-N) and Nocturia Quality of Life (ICIQ-Nqol) into Persian by assessing the validity and reliability of the translated versions.
methodsThe English versions of the ICIQ-N and ICIQ-Nqol were translated into Persian using a forward-backward translation method. Content validity was assessed quantitatively using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) by ten urologists. Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on data from 208 female patients with at least one lower urinary tract symptom. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest reliability was assessed over a 14-day interval using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
resultThe Persian translations demonstrated high content validity, with all items achieving acceptable CVI and CVR values. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single dominant component for both questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha for the ICIQ-N was 0.888 and for the ICIQ-Nqol was 0.986, indicating excellent internal consistency. Test-retest reliability was also high, with ICC values of 0.869 (95% CI 0.817-0.905) for the ICIQ-N and 0.974 (95% CI 0.968-0.979) for the ICIQ-Nqol.
conclusionThe Persian ICIQ Nocturia and Nocturia Quality of Life were valid and efficiently adapted for use in various settings.
