Dutch translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the LIMB-Q Kids questionnaire.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 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
backgroundWe aimed to translate and culturally adapt the LIMB-Q Kids questionnaire for use in the Netherlands. The LIMB-Q Kids is a patient-reported outcome measure designed to assess functional, psychosocial, and aesthetic aspects of living with a limb difference in paediatric populations.
aimTo investigate the feasibility of a questionnaire in the Netherlands, which was translated into Dutch after having already been successfully translated and validated in several other languages.
methodsThe translation and adaptation process followed best practice guidelines, including forward and backward translation, expert panel review, and cognitive debriefing interviews with patients. The interviews focused on the clarity and comprehensibility of the instructions, response options, and questionnaire items.
resultsThe rigorous process resulted in a linguistically and conceptually equivalent Dutch version of the LIMB-Q Kids questionnaire. While some challenges were encountered, no major difficulties were reported. The constructs and cultural relevance were found to be relatable to the Dutch context. Minor adjustments were made based on patient feedback, such as clarifying questions and modifying translations for technical terms.
conclusionWe demonstrated the successful translation and cultural adaptation of the LIMB-Q Kids questionnaire for use in the Netherlands. By following best practices, the researchers have developed a version that is conceptually and linguistically equivalent to the original English version. The availability of this Dutch version will facilitate the assessment of outcomes in paediatric populations with limb differences, and potentially enable cross-cultural comparisons.
