Involving Carers in Therapy for Adults With Intellectual Disabilities: A Systematic Review of Client, Carer and Therapist Perspectives.
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
backgroundAdaptations are frequently reported when delivering therapy to people with an intellectual disability, including the involvement of carers. This review aimed to understand the experience of carer involvement from the perspective of the person, therapist and caregiver.
methodsA systematic search of six databases and of reference lists was conducted. The quality of the included studies was assessed using an adapted version of the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist. Data was synthesised using meta-ethnography.
resultsSixteen studies were included but their quality varied. Five third-order constructs were identified: safety, therapeutic process, relationships, personal impact on carer and improving the experience.
conclusionFindings suggest that carer involvement can be a positive experience and aid the therapy process. However, this depended on several factors including carer motivation and consistency. Confidentiality issues were highlighted. Limitations of studies included poor reporting on participant demographics and small samples. Future research and clinical implications are suggested.
