Validity and reliability of the French version of the quick-FAAM (Q-FAAM-F) among patients undergoing anatomic ankle ligament reconstruction.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the validity and reliability of the French version of the Quick Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (Q‑FAAM‑F) in French‑speaking patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort in a sports surgery centre with repeated assessments preoperatively, and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively; the primary analysis was cross‑sectional at 6 months. Consecutive CLAI patients undergoing anatomic lateral ankle ligament reconstruction (AALR) were included. Patients completed the Q‑FAAM‑F (12 items derived from the validated French FAAM) alongside the full FAAM, FAOS, ALR‑RSI, CAIT and VAS‑pain. Internal consistency (Cronbach's Results: Among 275 patients (56% male; median age 32 years), Q‑FAAM‑F showed excellent internal consistency ( Conclusion: The Q‑FAAM‑F is a valid and reliable PROM for French‑speaking CLAI patients, suitable for clinical practice and research. Precise AUC‑based thresholds may support clinical decision‑making at 6 months. Level of Evidence: Level III.
