Portuguese Version of the PROMIS® Self-Efficacy for Managing Daily Activities for Patients With Chronic Conditions: Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 translate and cross-culturally adapt the PROMIS® Self-Efficacy for Managing Daily Activities for Portuguese-speaking populations, ensuring linguistic and conceptual equivalence for future validation, while considering differences between Brazil and Portugal. Methods: The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) methodology was followed, including (1) independent translations by Brazilian and Portuguese native speakers; (2) reconciliation into a single version; (3) back-translation; (4) expert review; (5) cognitive debriefing with participants from both countries and (6) final approval by the PROMIS® Statistical Center. Ethical approval was obtained from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. Results: Minimal linguistic and cultural differences were found between Brazilian and European Portuguese. Vocabulary adjustments were made to ensure clarity (e.g., "tela" vs. "écrã," "celular" vs. "telemóvel"). The cognitive debriefing involved seven participants (four from Brazil and three from Portugal). A new response option was added for individuals with mobility impairments. The final version preserved the scale's psychometric integrity while ensuring cultural relevance. Conclusion: The adapted Portuguese version of the PROMIS® Self-Efficacy for Managing Daily Activities maintains its conceptual fidelity and usability across Portuguese-speaking populations. The item bank is ready for validation studies and clinical use in Lusophone healthcare settings.
