Using Non-Standard Research Methods to Explore the Perspectives of People With Intellectual Disabilities on Sensitive Topics: A Discussion of the Research Paradigm, Data Collection Methods and Data Analysis.
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
backgroundTo make research on sensitive topics accessible to participants with intellectual disabilities, researchers have used innovative, non-standard data collection methods. However, there is a lack of information about data analysis, validity and reliability.
methodsUsing the example of a focus group study on end-of-life care planning with people with intellectual disabilities, the development and implementation of several creative data collection methods and the process of data analysis are described and discussed.
resultsNewly developed data collection tools were presented as 'games' that successfully elicited participant perspectives. Data analysis involved the Framework method within an interpretivist phenomenological research paradigm. It incorporated extensive team discussions, including researchers and advisors with intellectual disabilities.
conclusionAny activity can become a valid data collection tool if it fits the study's research paradigm, has a clear rationale, is co-developed and tested with people with intellectual disabilities and if the analytical process is clearly described.
