French-Canadian translation of the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire.
Article in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2026. 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
purposeThe Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R) is a widely used validated tool for evaluating the effectiveness of acute pain management. We aimed to translate the APS-POQ-R and assess its internal consistency in a French-Canadian postoperative surgical population.
methodsWe used a forward-backward translation method to develop a French-Canadian version of the APS-POQ-R. The final version was reviewed by patient partners for clarity and clinical relevance. The translated questionnaire was administered to patients who underwent elective orthopedic or colorectal surgery at the Jewish General Hospital University Health Centre between April and July 2024. Internal consistency of each subscale was assessed using Cronbach's alpha with acceptable levels defined as alpha ≥ 0.7.
resultsThe APS-POQ-R was completed by 119 participants, with 49 completing the French-Canadian version and 70 the English version. The overall Cronbach's alpha for the French-Canadian version was 0.77 (95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 0.85), indicating good internal consistency and comparable reliability to the English version (alpha = 0.83). Subscale internal consistency varied, with the pain severity and sleep interference (alpha = 0.84) subscale showing the highest consistency, while the adverse effects (alpha = 0.59) and perceptions of care (alpha = 0.53) subscales were lower.
conclusionsThe French-Canadian version of the APS-POQ-R shows potential for use in Francophone populations pending further validation. Its use may support patient-centred care and quality improvement initiatives in perioperative pain management.
