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

backgroundAlthough there is consensus regarding the added value of adults with an intellectual disability and family carers as Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) members in research studies, there is limited reporting on the practice and impact of their involvement.

methodsPPIE input was integral to the application process and subsequent research activities in the NIHR-funded PETAL (PErsonalised Treatment packages for Adults With Learning disabilities) programme. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with five researchers/PPIE facilitators and four family carers, and a focus group with three adults with an intellectual disability who are members of the programme advisory groups. The GRIPP2 checklist guided the reporting of PPIE activities.

resultsThematic analysis identified four overarching themes: (a) Motivation for being a PPIE member, (b) Added value of PPIE input into research (c) Logistics and practicalities of PPIE activities, and (d) Insights and reflections. Family carers highlighted the benefit of giving a voice to adults with an intellectual disability in PPIE activities within research. Both PPIE groups were positive about being able to share their thoughts and feelings with the PETAL research team and making valued contributions to research activities. All stakeholders highlighted the importance of accessible meeting formats to facilitate PPIE activities. They also reflected on how meaningful collaboration could enhance research in the field of intellectual disability. Researchers raised the need for greater diversity within PPIE groups.

conclusionsFuture work should aim to further develop PPIE processes and identify strategies to maximise the diversity and inclusion of adults with an intellectual disability and family carers in research advisory groups.
