Statistical and reliability analysis of communication disability severity in Saudi Arabia using novel probability distribution.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Understanding the distribution of communication disabilities is crucial for effective policy planning and resource allocation. This study introduces the Extended Generalized Inverted Kumaraswamy Standard Exponential (EGIKwS-Exp) distribution for modeling the percentage of Saudi individuals with severe or total communication disabilities aged two years and above across 13 administrative regions. The dataset, sourced from Disability Statistics 2023, exhibits significant variability, requiring a flexible probabilistic framework. The EGIKwS-Exp distribution, an extension of the exponential model, enhances adaptability for complex datasets like disability statistics. Key distributional and reliability properties, including hazard rate, reversed hazard rate, c umulative hazard, and survival functions, are derived. Parameter estimation is conducted using Maximum Likelihood Estimation, with Bayesian inference via MCMC Metropolis-Hastings, Asymptotic, Boot-P, Boot-T, and Highest Posterior Density confidence intervals ensuring robust analysis. Graphical reliability measures confirm the model's efficiency in capturing trends in communication disability data, offering a comprehensive framework for analyzing regional disparities and informing policymakers. By providing a robust statistical tool, this research supports more informed decision-making in disability studies and public health planning.
