Intercultural Scale on Conceptions of Disability: a cross-cultural validation.
Article in Psicologia, reflexao e critica : revista semestral do Departamento de Psicologia da UFRGS, 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
objectiveOur study investigates the cross-cultural validation of the Intercultural Scale on Conceptions of Disability (ISCD), which measures how disability is perceived across three dimensions: biological, social, and metaphysical.
methodsThe research involved 5,544 undergraduate and graduate students from Brazil, Portugal, and Spain. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the scale’s three-factor structure in each country. Measurement invariance was also tested to ensure that the scale measures conceptions of disability equivalently across all cultural contexts.
resultsThe dates showed that the ISCD's three-factor structure demonstrated a good fit in all locations, confirming the multidimensional nature of disability conceptions. Additionally, measurement invariance was established, indicating that the instrument's parameters were consistent across countries. Significant differences were found between countries in all three conceptions. The study also provides normative data for interpreting the ISCD scores, which is crucial for future research and applications in diverse contexts.
conclusionThe findings suggest that the ISCD is a valid instrument for assessing disability conceptions across different cultures, offering valuable insights for developing inclusive policies and interventions that consider the social and cultural dimensions of disability.
