Anaesthesiologists' Non-Technical Skills in Denmark Form: cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of Turkish version in paediatric surgery team.
Article in BMJ open quality, 2025. 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
backgroundThe Anaesthesiologists' Non-Technical Skills in Denmark Form (ANTSdk) is a widely accepted, practical, and comprehensive measurement tool used by anaesthesiologists and other healthcare professionals. This study aims to adapt the ANTSdk into Turkish as a valid and reliable assessment instrument. By doing so, it will contribute to establishing a common language and standardised terminology for integrating non-technical skills into the Turkish healthcare system.
methodsWe conducted a standardised cross-cultural adaptation process. The psychometric properties of the Turkish-adapted version of the ANTSdk were evaluated through observations of 81 real paediatric surgical operating room teams, assessed simultaneously by two independent observers. Validity was examined using content validity analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency and inter-rater reliability of the Turkish version of ANTSdk (ANTStr) were also assessed.
resultsThe specified factorial model retained the same grouping of elements into four domains as in the original version of ANTSdk. All standardised factor loadings were greater than 0.3. The inter-rater reliability, measured by the intraclass correlation coefficient of the global score, was 0.98. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scores provided by the first rater ranged from 0.83 to 0.94, while for the second rater, it ranged from 0.84 to 0.94. The generalisability coefficient calculated for ANTStr was exceptionally high at 0.96.
conclusionThe Turkish version of ANTSdk demonstrates strong psychometric properties for evaluating paediatric surgical team performance in the operating room. This translated instrument can be used to assess non-technical skills in paediatric surgical teams within real clinical settings, facilitating benchmarking and international collaboration.
