A Qualitative Exploration of Paid Carers' Experience of Caring for Men With Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability and Harmful Sexual Behaviour.
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
backgroundPaid carers supporting men with Intellectual and Developmental Disability and Harmful Sexual Behaviour face complex challenges which can affect the carers well-being and quality of care for the person they support. This study explores carers' lived experiences of caring for this group of men.
methodSix paid carers were interviewed regarding their experience of providing care. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
resultsThree superordinate themes were identified through the analysis: 'The balance of drive and burden', 'External influence on care provided' and 'Co-producing care and support'. Carers found the role emotionally demanding and needed support from others to cope. The importance of person-centred care and carer responsiveness was also emphasised.
conclusionThis study highlights the emotional demands and negative public perception faced by paid carers. Clinical implications include enhancing professional recognition, strengthening organisational support and promoting emotional processing.
