The subjective experiences of women with intellectual disabilities and offending behaviour: exploring their experiences of 'home'.

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
objectivesServices supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities are changing in the UK with a drive towards community care and reducing inpatient provision. More needs to be known about the experiences and opinions of individuals living in inpatient settings. Women with intellectual disabilities and offending behavior are a particularly complex, under-represented group affected by these organizational changes. This research aims to consult women with intellectual disabilities, living in a secure hospital, to explore their housing experiences and hopes for future home and care environments.
methodSeven participant's experiences, and the meaning they assign to these experiences, were explored through semi-structured interviews. Their narratives were analyzed utilizing Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis.
resultsFour superordinate themes emerged from the analysis (i) hospital as helpful (ii) hospital as undesirable (iii) a sense of belonging (iv) 'I want to be as independent as I can.' The subtheme 'importance of people' emerged throughout with illustrations of
conclusionsThe women interviewed experienced living in hospital as both helpful and undesirable. They wanted to live as independently as possible in the community. However, they identified several helpful aspects of hospital including receiving specialist support for their complex needs. They desired independence, freedom to choose, personal space, familiarity, and support from individuals who understand their needs. Whilst it is recognized that hospitals cannot be homes for people, they do have a function in providing helpful specialist support to some individuals with intellectual disabilities who have committed serious crimes and/or cannot safely be supported in the community.
