Arabic validation and adaptation of the Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP-A) in university students: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Objective: The Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP) is a brief cognitive screening tool that assesses domains commonly affected in psychiatric populations. Despite its international use, no Arabic version has been available. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Arabic version (SCIP-A) in a healthy adult sample. Methods: Following a standardized forward-backward translation and expert committee review, 120 healthy university students (60 male, 60 female) completed the SCIP-A in two sessions 48 h apart, using counterbalanced combinations of its three alternate forms. Psychometric properties were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency), Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (test-retest reliability), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (construct validity). A repeated measures ANOVA was also conducted to examine the concurrent effects of time, gender, and alternate forms. Results: The SCIP-A demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's Conclusion: The SCIP-A shows sound psychometric properties and form equivalence in a healthy young adult sample. Given its brevity, ease of administration, and availability of alternate forms designed to mitigate practice effects, the SCIP-A appears to be a promising and practical tool for cognitive screening in Arabic-speaking contexts, pending further validation in broader populations.
