Translation and Validation of Thai Versions of the Chronic Oral Mucosal Disease Questionnaire-15 and Oral Lichen Planus Symptom Severity Measure.
Article in Oral diseases, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Thai versions of the Chronic Oral Mucosal Disease Questionnaire-15 (COMDQ-15) and Oral Lichen Planus Symptom Severity Measure (OLP-SSM), assessing quality of life and symptom severity in oral lichen planus (OLP).
methodsFollowing COSMIN guidelines, both original instruments were translated and culturally adapted into Thai. Psychometric evaluation, including structural validity, convergent and discriminative validity, and internal consistency, involved 203 Thai adults with OLP. Participants also completed psychological assessments (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PSS-10, B-IPQ), while clinicians rated disease activity of OLP using the OLP-DAS and OLP-IGA.
resultsStructural validity supported the original four-factor COMDQ-15 and unidimensional OLP-SSM structures, consistent with international findings. Content validity was excellent (CVI ≥ 0.96). Convergent validity showed moderate-to-high correlations between COMDQ-15 scores and psychological measures, and between OLP-SSM scores and clinical disease activity. However, discriminative validity was limited in distinguishing symptom severity states, likely due to mild-to-moderate disease severity among participants. Internal consistency was robust (COMDQ-15 α = 0.922; OLP-SSM α = 0.778).
conclusionThe Thai COMDQ-15 and OLP-SSM are valid, reliable, and culturally appropriate tools for assessing symptom severity and quality of life in Thai OLP patients, enhancing clinical care and facilitating holistic disease management.
