Preliminary Validation of a Self-Reported Functional Outcomes Tool for Children with Extremity Tumors: Translation into Persian and Assessment of the Reliability and Validity of the pTESS-Leg Questionnaire.
Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: With the advancements in treatment for limb sarcomas, including limb preservation and functional restoration, it is essential to assess the functional status of pediatric patients. This study aims to translate and validate the Pediatric Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (pTESS-Leg) questionnaire for children with extremity tumors into Persian. Methods: The methodology involved a forward and backward translation process, followed by a review from an expert committee to ensure cultural relevance. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and Spearman correlation for test-retest reliability. Validity was evaluated through the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR). Results: The findings indicated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.95) and significant test-retest reliability across all questions. The CVR reached 100% for all items, indicating adequate content validity. These results affirm that the Persian version of the pTESS-Leg tool is a reliable and valid measure for assessing functional outcomes in children following treatment for extremity tumors, facilitating improved evaluation and comparison of patient outcomes in clinical settings. Conclusion: The Persian version of the pTESS-Leg questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing functional outcomes in children with extremity tumors. This study highlights the importance of culturally adapting assessment instruments to enhance treatment outcome evaluations and facilitate comparisons across studies.
