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

backgroundSupport workers play a key role in everyday health support for people with intellectual disabilities. This study aimed to explore how training (the TRAIN-ID programme) can strengthen support workers' competencies to meet the health needs of people with intellectual disabilities.

methodThis qualitative study explored 26 support workers' experiences with participating in the training programme through written reflections, focus groups immediately post-training and interviews three months later. Data were analysed using template analysis informed by the Kirkpatrick framework.

resultsPositive experiences with the programme related to observing, discussing and following up health problems in practice. Furthermore, analysis indicates concrete pathways linking learning to intentions for behavioural change and perceived impact.

conclusionsTraining programmes that recognise support workers' roles in health support strengthen support workers' ability to identify and respond to health concerns, thereby helping to address educational gaps and improving everyday health support for people with intellectual disabilities.
