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

backgroundTo date, little research has explored children with intellectual disabilities' own experience of the Covid-19 pandemic. The current study used photovoice to explore the impact of Covid-19 on children with intellectual disabilities.

methodSessions were carried out with (n = 13) children aged 8-16 years across five sessions with five small groups (either face-to-face or video calls) between November 2021-March 2022.

resultsThree main themes (1) "Nobody likes the lockdown"; (2) "You don't want the Covid [to] get you"; (3) Everything is Different Now were connected to an overarching theme of (Im)Permanence.

conclusionsChildren with intellectual disabilities were anxious during the Covid-19 pandemic and employed numerous coping strategies (such as distracting themselves with sensory-based activities). Despite looking forward to seeing family/friends, children reported worries and hesitancy about returning to 'normal', indicating potential lasting effects of the lockdown.
