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
purposeTo increase understanding of the transition from work and day activity services to old-age retirement among people with intellectual disabilities. The research questions are as follows: 1) How are change and continuity present in the transitions to old-age retirement of older people with an intellectual disability? 2) What is the role of the person's own decision-making in the transition process?
methodsA longitudinal case study approach was used. The main data consist of qualitative interviews from a one-year period with four people with an intellectual disability aged 59-65. Secondary data include photographs taken by the participants and the researcher's field notes. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.
resultsThe transition from day activity services to retirement appeared to be fluid and unexpected. Only one of the participants retired during the follow-up as planned, because another's retirement was postponed and two others moved back and forth between retirement and work and day activities. The participants had limited decision-making opportunities in the transition process, while staff emphasized supporting continuity.
conclusionsRecognition of the non-linear and diverse transition paths and supporting their own decision-making are important for the well-being of older people with intellectual disabilities in later life.
