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
objectiveThe Body Image-Acceptance and Action Questionnaire is a valid and reliable measure that assesses the extent to the degree of flexibility of an individual’s negative emotions and thoughts about their own bodies, and the extent to which they are able to engage in valued activity despite experiences of difficult body image internal. To date, there is no measure available and validated for Arabic-speaking adults for specifically assessing the concept of body image psychological flexibility. This study’s objective was to examine the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the short 5-item form of the scale (BI-AAQ-5) in a sample of adults from Lebanon.
methodsThis study is cross-sectional, it enrolled 400 Arabic-speaking adults aged 18 and above using a snowball sampling technique (mean age: 25.93 ± 11.87 years and 65% females). The forward-backward translation method was adopted to obtain the Arabic version of the BI-AAQ-5. Psychometric properties were evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency analysis (Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega), and measurement invariance testing across sexes.
resultsThe Arabic version of the BI-AAQ-5 demonstrated high internal consistency. The fit indices of originally proposed one-factor structure of the scale indicated that the measurement model fits the data well. The standardized estimates of factor loadings were all adequate. The results showed substantial evidence for configural, metric, and scalar invariance across male and female participants (males: 27.13 ± 6.96 vs. females: 25.73 ± 8.28; t(398) = 1.80, p =.074).
conclusionThe BI-AAQ-5 translated into Arabic appears to be a valid self-assessment measure to evaluate body image acceptance among the adults. Findings suggest that the scale appears suitable for use among Arabic-speaking adults.
