Digital Psychological Wellbeing Interventions for Family Carers of Children and Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A 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 4 papers, 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
backgroundThis review explored (1) what digital psychological wellbeing interventions for family carers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were reported in the literature, (2) evidence about their effectiveness, (3) factors affecting their implementation and (4) experiences of family carers who attend them.
methodsSeven databases were searched using search terms related to intellectual and developmental disabilities, carer role, wellbeing and digital delivery formats. Data from 23 studies were synthesised narratively.
resultsIdentified interventions were categorised in five broad groups: mind-body, relaxation, mindfulness and acceptance; psychoeducation and support groups; positive thinking and self-compassion; spiritual; and expressive writing. Only 43% of included studies met seven (100%) or six (85%) quality indicators based on the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
conclusionsThere is a developing literature on digital interventions for family carers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Digital supports will likely become more important with continuing technological advances and increasing need.
