Empowerment of Youth With Intellectual Disabilities Through Inclusive Research in Africa.
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
backgroundDespite growing global interest in participatory research, the practice of including persons with intellectual disabilities as co-researchers remains largely underexplored within the African context. This paper reflects on the methodological processes of implementing inclusive research with youth with intellectual disabilities, including the lessons learned during this process.
methodsYouth with intellectual disabilities were recruited and trained as co-researchers to conduct interviews as part of a pilot study for the qualitative evaluation of the Special Olympics Healthy Communities Programme in South Africa. The core team consisted of four co-researchers and three university researchers. RESULTS AND
conclusionsThe reflections and lessons learned from the research team demonstrated that conducting inclusive research with youth with intellectual disabilities is beneficial to all involved. It is achievable and speaks to the reciprocity of equity, inclusion, empowerment and social justice.
