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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The English language Harris Hip Score (HHS) is widely adopted tool that measures the health of the hip joint through pain, function, and disabilities domains. The aim of this study is to translate the HHS into Arabic (HHS-A) and then assess its validity and reliability. Methodology: The HHS-A underwent cross-cultural adaptation involving forward- and backtranslation following recommended guidelines, and then a pilot testing. Validity was assessed by comparing it with the Arabic SF-36 for convergent and divergent validity. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest reliability was evaluated with through a subgroup analysis of 20 participants using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and minimal detectable change (MDC). Results: A total of 149 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. The mean adjusted total HHS-A score was 45.02 (±17.95), and were 17.15 and 27.87 for pain and function domains, respectively. The pain domain of HHS-A showed strong correlations with physical function (PF) ( Conclusion: The Arabic version of the Harris Hip Score is found to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing hip pathologies within Arabic-speaking populations.
