Iranian Translation of the Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire: Validity and Reliability.

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 hypothesisThe Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) is a tool developed to assess patient knowledge regarding the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of urinary incontinence (UI), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) conditions. This study was aimed at translating the PIKQ into Persian and testing its validity and reliability.
methodsThe present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the women's clinics of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2024, and included 205 women. The English PIKQ was translated into Persian using a standardized translation/back-translation method. The psychometric properties of the final version were tested for content validity, construct validity, and reliability. Construct validity was examined by confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was assessed by test-retest reliability and the Kuder-Richardson Coefficient (KR-20).
resultsThe PIKQ demonstrated acceptable fit in a final model for both UI and POP. For PIKQ-UI, average variance extracted (AVE) was initially below 0.5, but after removing items 1, 5, 6, and 9, it improved to 0.5, confirming convergent validity. The final fit indices were acceptable (Chi-squared = 30.710, df = 20, goodness-of-fit index [GFI] = 0.970). For PIKQ-POP, items 11 and 4 were removed, resulting in an AVE of 0.5 and improved fit indices (Chi-squared = 34.645, df = 20, GFI = 0.976). However, to maintain the originality of the questionnaire, no changes were applied in the final version. Reliability was good, as indicated by the intraclass coefficients of 0.852 (0.627-0.942) for PIKQ-UI, and 0.646 (0.107-0.860) for PIKQ-POP. Also, KR-20 was 0.775 and 0.756 respectively.
conclusionsThe Iranian version of the PIKQ is a dependable and valid tool for evaluating knowledge related to UI and POP.
