Kuwait-Mental Illness Disability Scale (K-MIDS):
Article in Psychopharmacology bulletin, 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
Background: It is widely agreed that the mentally ill constitute a sizeable chunk of the disabled population not only for those afflicted but also for their caregivers alike. Objective: To assess the degree of disability with subsequent medico-legal ramifications, clinicians largely rely on generic clinical impressions and short brief interviews that are by no means bias-free lacking in standardization and objectivity. Methods: To this end, authors, herein, draft, the K-MIDS or the Kuwait-Mental Illness Disability Scale. Results: Baseline Requirements and Scoring System of K-MIDS are devised largely drawing on authors' vast clinical expertise in this area. Conclusions: The assessment of functional disability related to serious mental illness remains an unmet need in the Gulf region where disability allowance is currently based on generic clinical impressions, brief interviews and collateral input. K-MIDS is intended to be a step moving forward. Psychometric properties are due second.
