ADHD rating scale adaptation in Saudi Arabia: factor structure, measurement invariance, and normative data.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
The ADHD Rating Scale is widely used to assess ADHD in the United States, and psychometrically sound. However, when assessments are translated into other languages, it is necessary to re-examine psychometrics. This study aimed to analyze the factor structure, test measurement invariance, and provide normative data for an adaptation of the ADHD Rating Scale in Saudi Arabia using parent ratings of 3,127 youth and teacher ratings of 2,595 students. Outcomes corroborate the validity of the two-factor correlated model for both parent and teacher ratings, and the measurement invariance among age and gender groups. The adapted ADHD Rating Scale is suitable for assessing the ADHD symptomology of youth in Saudi Arabia using the normative standards developed in this study.
