Perceived Autonomy in People With Intellectual Disabilities: Psychometric Properties of an Easy-to-Read Self-Administered Scale.
Article in Journal of intellectual disability research : JIDR, 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
backgroundThe concept of intellectual disability has evolved into a multidimensional approach. This approach recognises the importance of contextual and environmental factors, highlighting autonomy as essential for the well-being and quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities (ID).
methodThe study was designed to assess the psychometric properties of a new measure of perceived autonomy in people with ID, adapted to an Easy-to-Read (E2R) format for self-administration. The study was conducted in Spain. A total of 492 adults with ID attending occupational centres completed the scale. Exploratory (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted on independent subsamples to examine its internal structure, together with reliability and validity evidence.
resultsParticipants reported moderate levels of perceived autonomy. The EFA yielded a two-factor structure-autonomy in future planning and autonomy in daily activities-accounting for 50.1% of the variance. The CFA corroborated this structure with an adequate fit (CFI = 0.949, TLI = 0.930, RMSEA = 0.084, SRMR = 0.083). Internal consistency was good (ω = 0.83; α = 0.79), and the two factors showed evidence of convergent and discriminant validity.
conclusionsThe findings support the reliability and validity of the E2R scale as a self-report measure of perceived autonomy in people with ID. The two-factor structure indicates that this population distinguishes between autonomy in daily activities and autonomy in future planning, and that, when adequately adapted, people with ID can report their own perceived autonomy directly.
