Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06739785 (Turkish Translation And Cross-Cultural Adaptation of The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 6th Edition), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundSport-related concussion are a significant public health issue. Although international criteria are available, there is no updated Turkish version of Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 6 (SCAT6). This research was performed to translate and cross-culturally adapt SCAT6 and instructions into Turkish (SKDA6™).

methodsThe 8-step translation and adaptation process was based on international guidelines. Lawsha method was used to measure the content validity by 10 experts. Reliability was determined in 27 athletes using intra-class correlation coefficients and inter-rater assessments, conducted at 1 and 2 weeks following initial testing. The relationship between the SKDA6™'s 'Symptom Evaluation' section, completed by the athlete, and the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-H) total score was assessed using Spearman's correlation coefficients.

resultsThe ultimate Content Validity Index was 0.900. The severity of symptoms was significantly correlated to OSTRC-H questionnaire (r = 0.666, p < 0.001). Good inter-rater reliability was found for assessment of symptoms by SKDA6™ (ICC = 0.902) and moderate-good within cognitive and balance subsections.

conclusionsSKDA6™ is the Turkish version of the original instrument and adequately adapted culturally, while construct validity and reliability testing are conducted among Turkish-speakers in this study. This study has addressed a significant gap in the field by translating a standard concussion assessment tool for use by healthcare professionals in Türkiye. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT06739785 /13.12.2024.
