1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

People with intellectual disability and/or autism are likely to be in hospital more often, for longer, and have poorer health outcomes. Few audit tools exist to identify their barriers in mainstream healthcare environments. This study aimed to identify evidence of audit characteristics of healthcare contexts specifically for people with intellectual disability and/or autism, for conceptual development of an auditing framework. A scoping review of evaluations of healthcare environments was completed in January 2023. Findings were presented using the PAGER framework. Of the sixteen studies identified, most originated in the UK, nine focused on intellectual disability, four on autism, and three were concerned with mixed diagnosis. Six domains for auditing healthcare environments were identified: care imperatives, communication to individuals, understanding communication from individuals, providing supportive environments of care, supporting positive behaviour, and actions to make things go well. Further research is recommended to refine an audit framework.
