ABAS-3 for Belgium: standardisation, psychometric properties and guidelines for fair assessment.
Article in International journal of developmental disabilities, 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
Objectives: In order to develop ABAS-3 for use in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium (Flanders), the most appropriate standardising method was investigated and psychometric properties were evaluated, based on international guidelines of the European Association of Psychologists Association. Furthermore, we investigated how ABAS-3 which inherently measures culturally-dependent behaviour can be applied in a fair way with individuals with a different cultural background. Methods: In this study, 2,783 parent reports and 1,066 teacher reports were completed (children: 0-21 y). In addition, 629 self-reports and 415 informant reports were collected (adults: 18-89 y). Results: Continuous norming was used for the versions for children, whereas classical norming was used for the adult versions of the ABAS. Psychometric results were mainly considered to be 'good' or 'excellent' and rarely 'sufficient'. Guidelines for fair assessment have been formulated in collaboration with several experts in the field. Conclusions: The ABAS-3 is the first multi-informant instrument for adaptive behaviour, standardised for the general population of Flanders with sensitivity for several context variables such as cultural background and SES.
