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

backgroundWhile there is now considerable research on parenting by persons with intellectual disabilities, most of this research comes from Western countries. A dearth of information exists about families headed by parents with intellectual disabilities from other countries. This paper summarises the state of research and practice in Japan, related to existing knowledge in the field.

methodWe conducted a review of Japanese research and media information about parents with intellectual disabilities, relating the situation in Japan to existing research from primarily Western countries.

resultsEvidence obtained suggests that Japan is only recently making progress to dispel eugenics mythology about sexuality and parenting in persons with intellectual disabilities and recognising the need for specialised supports.

conclusionsWe make eight recommendations for future research, policy, and practice in Japan, including ending discriminatory practices, funding needed supports, and educating and training workers and professionals in evidence-based supports.
