Psychologists' knowledge, attitudes, and training experiences regarding mental illness in individuals with intellectual disabilities in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Introduction: Intellectual disability (ID) impacts an estimated 1-3% of the population worldwide, with a higher incidence in regions with limited healthcare access. In Saudi Arabia, current prevalence data, especially for adults, are scarce. This cross-sectional study explores the systemic challenges psychologists perceived in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses in individuals with intellectual disabilities. Methods: A standardized Arabic-language questionnaire was distributed to 144 licensed psychologists in Saudi Arabia to collect data on professional backgrounds, educational history, work experience, attitudes, and knowledge. Results: Data were analyzed using factorial ANOVA and Spearman's correlation tests. The analysis revealed that years of professional experience significantly influenced attitudes (F = 5.024, p =.008, partial η² =.073), while training experience had a pronounced effect on knowledge of mental comorbidities in ID (F = 75.83, p <.001, partial η² =.367). A strong correlation was identified between training experience and knowledge (ρ =.811, p <.001), whereas no significant correlation was found for attitudes.
