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
introduction and hypothesisThis study aimed to adapt the original instrument titled Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause Symptoms and Vaginal Treatments Acceptability Questionnaire into Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the obtained Turkish version.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted with 505 postmenopausal women receiving care at the women's health clinic of a public hospital in Türkiye. The adaptation process included forward-backward translation, expert review, pilot testing, and statistical analyses. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Additionally, discriminant validity analysis was performed.
resultsThe results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the original three-factor structure of the questionnaire in the Turkish sample (CFI 0.973, TLI 0.976, RMSEA 0.027). The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.853, with subscale values ranging from 0.787 to 0.930. Significant differences were found between the upper and lower 27% groups, indicating strong discriminative power. Negatively worded items in domain C adversely affected internal consistency, and their revision is recommended.
conclusionThe Turkish version of the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause Symptoms and Vaginal Treatments Acceptability Questionnaire is a valid and reliable self-report instrument for assessing symptom burden, quality of life, and treatment acceptability in postmenopausal women. It can be used in clinical practice for diagnosis and follow-up, and as a culturally sensitive data collection tool in scientific research.
