Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Hindi Version of Malocclusion Impact Scale for Early Childhood for Assessing Oral Health-related Quality of Life in Indian Preschool Children.

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
Background: A specialized tool was originally developed in Brazilian-Portuguese to assess how malocclusion in primary teeth affects the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschool children and their parents. Aim: To translate the Malocclusion Impact Scale for Early Childhood (MIS-EC) into Hindi, evaluate its reliability and validity, and determine its usefulness in assessing the impact of malocclusion on the OHRQoL of Indian preschool children and their parents. Methods: The Hindi MIS-EC was adapted using international translation guidelines and administered to 110 preschool children (3-5 years). Reliability was tested through intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and test-retest methods, while validity was examined using convergent and discriminant analyses. Results: The Hindi MIS-EC demonstrated good reliability, with an overall Cronbach's α of 0.71 and an ICC of 0.87. Discriminant validity (4.83) was significant, effectively distinguishing between children with and without malocclusion. Convergent validity was also confirmed, as the Hindi MIS-EC showed a significant correlation with the general health status of the child. Conclusion: The Hindi MIS-EC scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the effect of malocclusion on the OHRQoL of children aged 3-5 years in India.
