Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Japanese Charité Alarm Fatigue Questionnaire (CAFQa) Among ICU Nurses and Physicians: A Multicentre Study.

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
Alarm fatigue threatens patient safety in intensive care units (ICUs), yet no validated Japanese instrument exists. We cross-culturally adapted the Charité Alarm Fatigue Questionnaire (CAFQa) into Japanese following COSMIN guidelines and evaluated it in 129 clinicians (103 nurses, 26 physicians) at five hospitals, with 102 retested. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor structure (CFI = 0.922; RMSEA = 0.041; SRMR = 0.076), but the inter-factor correlation was near zero (r = 0.05), suggesting that Alarm Stress and Alarm Coping behave as largely independent dimensions. Cronbach's alpha was 0.805 (Stress) and 0.649 (Coping); test-retest ICCs ranged 0.62-0.75. Alarm Stress correlated with job stress (r = 0.256) and insomnia (r = 0.369), whereas Alarm Coping related selectively to relational and environmental factors and to ICU experience. Given the orthogonal subscales, we recommend subscale-level rather than total-score interpretation.
