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
backgroundSexuality in adolescents with intellectual disabilities is a topic that remains largely unexplored due to prejudices, stigmas, exclusion, and deficient attention in sexual education. This study aimed to analyze teachers' perceptions and experiences regarding the sexual development of adolescents with intellectual disabilities. MATERIALS AND
methodsA phenomenological study was conducted using an inductive content analysis method. Eight teachers from a special education center in Lima, Peru were intentionally selected and interviewed in depth. The data were interpreted, segmented into codes for a more specific analysis, and subsequently grouped into subthemes that allowed the categories to be defined.
resultsThe findings of this study were grouped into two main categories: 1) Perceptions on the sexuality of adolescents with intellectual disabilities: indifferent sexual maturation process, predominance of hypersexual behaviors, considerations on sexual activity and the use of contraceptives, and the influence of family and school in constructing gender identity and sexual orientation; and 2) Experiences in approaching sexuality: the importance of comprehensive sex education, family involvement in supporting affective relationships, and including specialized professionals to adequately manage inappropriate behaviors.
conclusionTeachers recognize their fundamental role in educating adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Their perceptions highlight the importance of applying a comprehensive approach to regulating sexual expressions. Their experiences demonstrate the necessity of implementing educational strategies that include specialized professionals.
