An Australian Co-Designed Template for Accessible Medicines Information for People With Intellectual Disability.
Article 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPeople with intellectual disability often experience barriers to accessing and understanding medicines information, limiting informed decision-making and safe medicine use. This study aimed to co-design an accessible, easy-read medicines information leaflet template using psychotropic medicines as an initial case study.
methodA qualitative constructivist grounded theory approach was used. Six focus groups were conducted (n = 31). Participants reviewed existing medicine leaflets and provided feedback on readability, format, and content. Data was analysed thematically to identify key features required for accessible design.
resultsTwo core domains were identified: how information is presented and what information is included. Participants prioritised short sentences, large font, supportive visuals, and easy-read language, alongside practical, personalised content about medicine purpose, dosing, side effects, and help seeking.
conclusionsCo-designed with people with intellectual disability, this template aims to improve health literacy and support informed medicines use. Policy reform and outcomes focused evaluation are warranted.
