Exploring How People With Intellectual Disabilities Experience the Therapeutic Alliance: A 'Best Fit' Framework Analysis Using Bordin's Model.
Review in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2026. 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
backgroundThere is an increasing interest in therapeutic alliance within talking therapy for people with intellectual disability. The applicability of frameworks such as Bordin's (1979) model of therapy alliance has not been considered.
methodA review of qualitative literature on people with intellectual disability's experience of talking therapy identified 23 papers. A 'best fit' framework synthesis was used to explore the applicability of Bordin's model to the experiences of people with intellectual disability in therapy.
resultsThe analysis supported Bordin's core themes of bond, task and goals. An additional theme was identified concerning the extension of the therapist's role to include active advocacy and support in the lives of people with intellectual disability outside of therapy.
conclusionThis study identified the experience of people with intellectual disability in therapy as consistent with Bordin's model and suggests that further research specific to the model would be productive.
