Translation and Validation of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire in Indonesian Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.

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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the 24-item Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ) for Indonesian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and evaluate its psychometric properties.
methodsForward-backward translation, adaptation involving 7 experts, and pretesting to develop the Indonesian version of DKQ were conducted. Psychometric analysis was carried out among T2D patients from 40 primary health care centers in Indonesia. Known-group, convergent and discriminant validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed. Additionally, a descriptive item analysis was conducted.
resultsIn total, 39 patients participated in the pretesting and 304 patients in the validation process and descriptive analysis. Of the 24 items, 2 were adjusted during the adaptation process, and 1 item was deleted because it did not adequately reflect the original item. Known-group validity was demonstrated because patients with younger ages, higher educational levels, and longer diabetes duration had significantly higher DKQ scores. Convergent validity was demonstrated by a significant positive correlation of the DKQ scores with overall treatment satisfaction. The 23-item DKQ Bahasa Indonesia showed satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.73; omega total = 0.72) and good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.87 in a sample of 27 patients). No floor and ceiling effects were found in the item analysis.
conclusionThe study demonstrates adequate validity and reliability of the 23-item DKQ Bahasa Indonesia for assessing diabetes knowledge in Indonesian primary care patients with T2D. This instrument can be used to identify room for improvement and develop diabetes education programs.
