1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsDirect support professionals (DSPs) are essential to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), yet staff turnover remains a significant concern. This study examined whether individuals with IDD in the United States are involved in choosing their staff, how they perceive staff turnover and whether perceived staff stability is associated with quality of life.

methodsData from the 2022-2023 National Core Indicators-In Person Survey were analysed to assess relationships between staff choice, perceived staff stability and outcomes related to everyday choice, support-related choice and alignment of community activities with personal preferences.

resultsIndividuals involved in choosing their staff were more likely to report greater staff stability. Perceived staff stability was associated with better alignment between community participation and personal preferences but was not significantly associated with choice-making outcomes.

conclusionFindings support person-directed service models and highlight the value of involving individuals with IDD in staffing decisions to promote staff stability and person-centred community participation.
