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
objectiveThis study aimed to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Daycare Anesthesia Satisfaction (DAS) Questionnaire and to evaluate its psychometric properties in Turkish-speaking adults undergoing ambulatory surgery.
methodsThis methodological cross-sectional study was conducted with 560 patients undergoing elective ambulatory surgery. The adaptation procedure followed the established cross-cultural translation procedures, which included forward translation, back translation, expert panel review and cognitive debriefing. Construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and convergent validity was assessed using composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE) values. Reliability was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
resultsThe scale-level content validity index was 0.95. The Turkish-adapted DAS demonstrated excellent internal consistency for the total score (Cronbach's α = 0.971). Test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.988, 95% CI: 0.986-0.989). CFA results indicated a mixed fit for the original four-factor structure; while absolute fit indices were acceptable (χ²/df = 3.53, RMSEA = 0.07, SRMR = 0.06), incremental fit indices fell below optimal thresholds (CFI = 0.83, TLI = 0.81). Nevertheless, the CR and AVE values for all factors exceeded the recommended thresholds (> 0.84 and > 0.51), indicating strong convergent validity.
conclusionThe Turkish adapted DAS questionnaire demonstrated excellent reliability and satisfactory content and convergent validity for Turkish-speaking adults undergoing ambulatory surgery. Although CFA provided only partial support for the original four-factor structure, the instrument appears to be a useful tool for assessing patient satisfaction in clinical practice and research. Given that only partial support was obtained for the four-factor structure, this conclusion should be regarded as provisional with respect to structural validity. Further multicentre studies are warranted to confirm the structural validity of the DAS-T and broaden its generalizability.
