The Views and Experiences of Families and Registered Nurses Regarding Hospital Care and Support of Children With Intellectual Disabilities: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis 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
backgroundChildren with intellectual disabilities experience poorer health outcomes and persistent inequities in hospital care. No previous review has integrated perspectives of families, registered nurses (RNs), nursing students and nurse educators to examine how family partnerships, workforce preparation and clinical practice intersect. This review synthesises evidence on hospital care and support for children with intellectual disabilities.
methodsFollowing PRISMA guidelines, four databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, APA PsycINFO and Embase) were searched from inception to October 2025. Study quality was appraised using the MMAT.
resultsTwenty-eight studies were included, generating five themes: the significance of communication, partnership and family empowerment, environmental and systemic barriers, the role of education and professional development and emotional and psychological well-being.
conclusionsImproving hospital care requires effective communication, meaningful family partnerships, supportive environments and reasonable adjustments, greater professional preparedness and emotional support. No eligible studies explored nursing students' or nurse educators' perspectives, revealing an evidence gap.
