Translation and Validation of the Arabic Version of the Revised Restrictive Behaviours Scale Among Iraqi Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Suggestion for Model Modification.
Article in International journal of methods in psychiatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesComprehensive scales should be used to better understand the patterns of restrictive and repetitive behaviours in children with autism spectrum disorder in middle and lower-income countries. This study aimed to validate an Arabic translation of the revised Repetitive Behaviours Scale.
methodsParents of 258 children were interviewed in a cross-sectional study conducted at Al-Subtain Academy from December 1, 2023, to August 1, 2024. The R Language and Environment for Statistical Programing v4.4.2 was utilised for statistical analysis.
resultsFollowing confirmatory factor analysis, the 6-factor solution was selected for further testing based on more favourable fitness indices and the 2-factor solution was selected based on an acceptable RMSEA of 0.064 and evidence of cross-cultural validity from previous validations. The 2-factor solution demonstrated better subscales' reliability, with composite coefficients of 0.801 and 0.908, and corrected item-total correlations that are more consistent with the theoretical framework for the scale. A modification for this model was suggested based on item performance and demonstrated a marginal improvement in the CFI and TLI indices.
conclusionThe Arabic revised repetitive behaviours scale demonstrates a valid and reliable structure, aligning with the conceptual classification of repetitive and restrictive behaviours into repetitive sensory-motor behaviours and insistence on sameness.
