The Phenomenon of Pain in Adults With Intellectual Disability: A Qualitative Systematic Review.
Synthesis 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 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPeople with intellectual disability are vulnerable to developing and experiencing pain, indeed more pain, due to comorbidities and secondary conditions. Their pain may also be underestimated or poorly managed, due to difficulties with verbal and non-verbal communication. Improved understanding could have positive implications for pain assessment and management practices.
methodThis systematic review synthesised findings from seven qualitative studies regarding the phenomenon of pain for people with intellectual disability, using a meta-ethnographic approach.
resultsFindings offer different perspectives about the recognition of multiple causes of pain, individual differences in the expression of pain, and decision-making about the assessment and treatment of pain. A tentative model is presented.
conclusionThere are only a small number of qualitative studies examining this topic. Further research is needed to fully understand pain for people with intellectual disability. Recognition should be given to the impact of wider factors on the pain experience.
