Mandarin Chinese Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (Chinese HSS Pedi-FABS).

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: The Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (HSS Pedi-FABS), consisting of 8 simple questions, is a useful tool for quantifying children's physical activity for research and clinical practice. Because of cultural diversity and variation in native languages across regions, translation and cross-cultural adaptation of patient-reported outcome measures is required. Purpose: To translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate a Chinese version of the HSS Pedi-FABS questionnaire. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: The HSS Pedi-FABS was translated into Chinese following a standardized 5-step forward-backward protocol, including translation, synthesis, back translation, expert review, and pretesting. Healthy children aged 10 to 18 years completed the Chinese HSS Pedi-FABS along with the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) or Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A) for construct validation. Test-retest reliability was assessed over a 7- to 30-day interval, internal consistency was measured using Cronbach alpha, and construct validity was evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: A total of 184 children aged 10 to 18 years participated. The Chinese HSS Pedi-FABS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach α = .93) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.98). Strong correlations were observed with PAQ-C ( Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the Chinese version of the HSS Pedi-FABS is a well-validated and reliable instrument for assessing physical activity among healthy Chinese-speaking children and adolescents. This work will assist future researchers in studying and developing physical activity-related outcome measures for Chinese-speaking children.
