Psychometric evaluation of the PID-5-SF in Arab populations.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2026. 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
backgroundThis study tested the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 – Short Form (PID-5-SF) in an Arab population. The study checked the tool’s factor structure, reliability, measurement invariance, and predictive validity. Testing included both clinical and general groups.
methodsThe sample included 982 participants: 751 non-clinical individuals (76.5% of sample; mean age = 39.97 years, 48.3% male) and 231 clinical individuals (23.5% of sample; mean age = 39.81 years) diagnosed with DSM-5-related disorders. The results showed that the five-factor model of the PID-5-SF had structural validity in both groups. Complete measurement invariance was found across the genders and cohorts, confirming consistent measurement properties. All the PID-5-SF subscales showed high internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha values supporting the reliable assessment of maladaptive personality traits. The instrument also successfully predicted major individual differences in psychological orientation, including collectivism, individualism, and strength.
conclusionsThe PID-5-SF showed strong psychometric properties in Arab samples, with a stable factor structure, high internal reliability, and strong predictive accuracy. These results support the use of both the PID-5-SF and AMPD models in Arab cultural contexts. Moving forward, research should focus on culturally adapted changes to improve the instrument’s relevance and effectiveness across diverse non-Western populations.
