Initial Testing of a Novel, Mental Imagery-Based Anxiety Intervention for People With Mild to Moderate Intellectual Disabilities Using a Single Case Experimental Design.

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 disabilities experience higher anxiety rates and barriers accessing effective interventions. This study conducted initial testing and refinement of Co-MAID, a novel mental imagery-based anxiety intervention co-designed with people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities.
methodsSix participants received 9-12 individual sessions using a non-concurrent multiple baseline design. Sessions focused on positive imagery generation, attention shifting and image property modification. Acceptability was assessed through interviews and adherence measures.
resultsFive participants completed the intervention with 92.6% session attendance. Template analysis revealed positive experiences with improved mood and reduced anxiety. Three participants (50%) demonstrated reliable change on the primary anxiety measure, meeting clinically significant change criteria.
conclusionsCo-MAID demonstrated good acceptability with some preliminary evidence of anxiety reduction in people with mild to moderate intellectual disability. Further research with larger samples and controlled designs will establish the feasibility of a randomised control trial leading to a Phase III trial.
