Psychometric Properties of the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory: Application of Rasch Analyses.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
introductionExecutive function is important ability for individuals to deal with daily living activities, and the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI) with promising psychometric properties was developed to assess executive function in nonclinical adult populations. However, psychometric properties evidence for ADEXI was primarily based on classical test theory; therefore, the current study used Rasch analysis to examine ADEXI to provide additional psychometric properties evidence.
methodsParticipants aged 18-25 years (n = 1764; 55.9% women) were recruited using a social media platform (Dcard). They completed self-report Mandarin version of the ADEXI (of which includes three subscales of working memory, inhibition, and flexibility) and demographic characteristics (age, gender, and educational level) via online survey. Rasch analyses with differential item functioning (DIF) were used as analytic methods.
resultsAll ADEXI items aligned with their intended subscales, with fit statistics of mean square ranging between 0.5 and 1.5. Moreover, the 5-point Likert scale of the ADEXI followed its order to indicate the difficulty (i.e., a higher score in the Likert scale indicates a poorer level of executive function). Moreover, no DIF items were displayed for the ADEXI across gender subgroup (men vs. women) or educational subgroup (college or above vs. high school or below).
conclusionThe psychometric properties of ADEXI were satisfactory, as indicated by the Rasch analysis findings. Unidimensionality of each ADEXI subscale was supported, categorical function was in order for the response, and no items displayed DIF. Therefore, the ADEXI can be used to evaluate executive function for general population and to enhance health promotion.
