Kalimah norms: Ratings for 2,467 modern standard Arabic words on two scales.
Article in Behavior research methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Crowdsourced normative ratings have benefited psycholinguistic research considerably. Yet, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) has scarce word norms. To address this scarcity, the current study developed and validated the Kalimah norms in two experiments. In experiment 1, 803 native Arabic speakers provided age of acquisition (AOA) and concreteness (CNC) ratings for 2,467 MSA words, a subset of which was lexically ambiguous (N = 60). Correlations with 12 Arabic and international norms established the sufficient validity of the Kalimah norms. We also observed variations in the ratings for the distinct meanings of the same word form. In experiment 2, we show that our crowdsourced norms can be used to validate large language model (LLM)-generated norm ratings for MSA words. Based on this, we obtained LLM-generated CNC ratings for an additional set of 30,000 MSA words. We make both the Kalimah norms and LLM-generated CNC ratings freely available for research purposes.
