It takes a community to hope: development and validation of the HOPE-4 scale in an Arab-Islamic context.
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
Background: Hope research has been constrained by Western-centric models that prioritize individual agency and pathways, often neglecting relational and transcendent dimensions prominent in collectivist and religious societies. Method: Using a genetic algorithm, we developed and validated the HOPE-4 scale across two independent samples of Algerian adults (Study 1: Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported a hierarchical structure with excellent fit, high internal consistency ( Conclusion: These findings underscore the salience of faith-based and communal hope in Arab-Islamic contexts, extending traditional frameworks and addressing calls for emic instruments. The HOPE-4 provides a robust, culturally attuned tool for hope assessment, with implications for research and interventions in Arabic-speaking populations.
