What Do They Think? The Opinions of Women With Intellectual Disabilities on Affective-Sexual Relationships: An Interview-Based Study.
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 1 paper.
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
backgroundAlthough the rights to sexuality and intimacy are increasingly recognised, it is a widely held assumption that women with intellectual disabilities are unable to express their sexuality freely, partly due to a lack of research and information on the topic.
objectiveTo explore the perspectives of women with intellectual disabilities on affective-sexual relationships, identify their specific support needs, inform the development of inclusive educational and psychosocial interventions, and propose policy improvements to promote their rights.
methodIndividual interviews were conducted and analysed thematically.
resultsThe results are divided into five areas: the LGBTQIA+ community; couple relationships; contraception and sex; abuse; and family and motherhood.
conclusionThe identified challenges related largely to external barriers. Their accounts allowed us to compile a list of the support they deem necessary, such as adapted sex education; further research based on their experiences; the creation of specific resources; and raising general awareness in society.
