Using Supporters to Increase Participation in Qualitative Research Interviews by People With Intellectual Disabilities.
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 3 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
backgroundResearchers need to hear directly from individuals with intellectual disabilities to better understand their experiences and perspectives. However, much inclusive research uses interviews and focuses mainly on people with greater communication skills. One priority is to expand the research techniques used to be more inclusive of people with higher support needs.
methodQualitative analysis of interview transcripts identified themes related to a support person's roles in assisting individuals' interview participation. Quantitative analysis identified factors related to the co-creation of responses, including turn-taking.
resultsSupporters helped participants to convey knowledge about the individuals' experiences. They provided encouragement and informational support. Supporters helped explain interview questions and co-create answers. These supporters played a supportive role and did not overpower or silence the responses of research participants.
conclusionsIncluding supporters chosen by research participants with intellectual disabilities as a support person during qualitative research interviews may be an effective tool in inclusive research.
