Validity and reliability of the Japanese Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version: Gender differences and age variations in adults.
Article in Journal of neuropsychology, 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
Executive function (EF) is associated with higher cognitive functions in the prefrontal cortex, and its assessment may support daily life activities. The reliability and validity of the Japanese Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (J-BRIEF-A) were evaluated in this study. Gender and age differences in EF among adults were explored as a secondary objective. This cross-sectional study involved an online survey among 1378 adults (age: 18-89 years; 689 men) across Japan. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the nine subscales and three-factor model of the J-BRIEF-A (comparative fit index = .98, root mean square error of approximation = .094). Internal consistency and high test-retest stability were also confirmed. Construct validity was confirmed using the Dysexecutive Questionnaire as an external criterion. Younger age groups tended to have higher scores for each item. This study confirmed the reliability of the J-BRIEF-A and provided partial evidence for its validity. The factor analysis supported the theoretical structure of the scale, suggesting factorial validity. The significant correlation between the J-BRIEF-A and Dysexecutive Questionnaire partially supports the J-BRIEF-A's construct validity. Despite relying on self-reported data and there being no direct comparisons with performance-based EF tests, the J-BRIEF-A remains valuable for assessing EF in daily life.
