1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: LIMB-Q Kids is a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for children with lower limb differences (LLDs). It has been developed with input from patients and healthcare professionals globally, including high-, low-, and lower-middle-income countries. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt (TCA) LIMB-Q Kids into Hindi. Methods: The English version was translated independently into Hindi by two translators, reconciled, and back-translated into English by a third translator. This back-translated English version was compared with the original English version by the developers of LIMB-Q Kids, and revisions were made to prepare the Hindi version for cognitive debriefing interviews (CDIs). Children aged 8-18 years with LLDs were recruited from two centers in India for CDIs. Feedback from the CDIs, consultations with clinicians from India, and input from the LIMB-Q Kids developers guided final edits. Results: The TCA process ensured conceptual equivalency with the original version, cultural relevance, gender neutrality (where possible), and comprehension by children aged 8-18 years. Ten CDIs were conducted, revealing that 12.6% of items were challenging for some children. The remaining 87.4% of items were understood, requiring no further changes. Conclusion: The rigorous TCA process ensured that the Hindi version of LIMB-Q Kids is culturally appropriate and conceptually equivalent to the original version. Hindi version has strong potential as a clinical tool to assess the impact of lower limb differences on children's quality of life in Hindi-speaking populations. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43465-025-01443-0.
