Parent and caregiver report questionnaires for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities: a systematic review.
Review in International journal of developmental disabilities, 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
Objectives: Parent and caregiver questionnaires are important outcome measures in education, clinical and research practice with children with intellectual disabilities. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review aimed to provide an overview of freely available caregiver report questionnaires, identified from five databases (Cinahl, Embase, Eric, PsycINFO and PubMed). Questionnaires were categorised following inductive analyses, and subscales were conceptually mapped using constructs and definitions from the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth version (ICF-CY). Results: 3406 records were identified leading to the inclusion of 34 caregiver report questionnaires on the impact of having, or caring for a child with, intellectual disabilities. Freely available questionnaires published in English after 2000 were eligible; screening tools, interviews and surveys were excluded. Questionnaire outcome goals were categorised to: 'behaviour', 'impact of the child with intellectual disabilities on others/impact of others on the child with intellectual disabilities', 'cognitive and adaptive functioning' and 'quality of life'. From the questionnaires, 152 subscales were identified and conceptually mapped using constructs from the ICF-CY. Conclusions: Most questionnaires focused on individual child behaviours, with gaps identified in consideration of environmental factors. Future studies should analyse the psychometric properties of available questionnaires to promote evidence-based practices.
