CROATIAN VERSION OF THE QUALITY OF RECOVERY QUESTIONNAIRE (QoR-40): TRANSCULTURAL ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06275087 (Differences in Speed of Recovery From Anesthesia and Recovery of Muscle Strength in General Balanced Inhalation Anesthesia and Total Intravenous Anesthesia for Intraoral Surgery - Clinical Randomised Trial), which is not on this map.

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
The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire is a psychometric instrument designed to quantify postoperative recovery. It has been translated and validated in several countries but not in Croatia. The aim was to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate Croatian version of the QoR-40. The QoR-40 was translated from English by two independent translators, back-translated by a native speaker, and approved by an expert committee. The questionnaire was administered to 106 patients who underwent general anesthesia before elective spinal surgery, post-surgery in the operating room, and 30 days after surgery. Internal consistency was assessed using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Construct validity was assessed by evaluating correlation between the QoR-40 and hand grip strength. The mean preoperative global QoR-40 score was 177.6 (95% CI 174.9-180.3) and postoperative 168.9 (95% CI 165.8-171.9); the mean change was -8.8 (95% CI -11.9 to -5.6). Internal consistency was good for global QoR-40 score (Cronbach α=0.896), acceptable across all domains (8>α≥7). There was a significant correlation between grip strength and total QoR-40 score, pain, and physical independence, but not with other domains. In conclusion, the Croatian version of the QoR-40 has acceptable properties and can be used in the assessment of postoperative recovery in Croatian patients.
