Psychometric Properties of Instruments to Assess Movement Disorders in People With Intellectual Disabilities Using Antipsychotics: A Systematic Literature 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
backgroundAssessing movement disorders-side effects of antipsychotics-can be challenging in people with intellectual disabilities. This systematic literature review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the psychometric properties of instruments used to assess movement disorders in people with intellectual disabilities using antipsychotics.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases. Results of psychometric properties for each instrument in the included studies were extracted.
resultsTen studies were included, evaluating psychometric properties of seven instruments (DISCUS, AIMS, CLAMPS, ARMS, checklist for motor restlessness, MEDS and analogue functional analyses). There was not a singular instrument that consistently demonstrated good feasibility, interrater reliability and validity across studies.
conclusionsFindings suggest that instruments lack evidence of good psychometric quality for assessing movement disorders in people with intellectual disabilities using antipsychotics. Future research should focus on the evaluation of psychometric properties of existing instruments and develop and validate novel instruments.
