Did I Take My Medication Today? Understanding Medication Self-Management for Adults With Intellectual Disabilities Through Participatory Research.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThere is little research that has examined what support strategies are effective to help adults with intellectual disabilities take their prescribed medication correctly. The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of the barriers and supports that contribute to adults with intellectual disabilities self-managing their prescribed medicines.
methodsNine adults with intellectual disabilities and two support staff participated in this two-phase study. Phase 1 consisted of focus groups and Phase 2 involved participants taking part in simulated real-world scenarios based on situations discussed during Phase 1 about taking prescription medication.
resultsThree main themes emerged from the findings: knowledge about prescription medication, barriers to taking prescription medication, and facilitators to taking prescription medication.
conclusionsThe findings of the study will help to inform healthcare professionals on how to better support adults with intellectual disabilities to take their prescription medication to ensure better health outcomes.
