'I Know Death': Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Death Among Middle-Aged Adults With Intellectual Disabilities in South Korea.
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
backgroundFor adults with intellectual disabilities, their understanding of and preparation for death present unique challenges. This study explored how middle-aged adults with intellectual disabilities perceive death.
methodUsing purposive sampling, 21 middle-aged adults with intellectual disabilities who had experienced parental bereavement were recruited for interviews.
resultsParticipants conveyed diverse interpretations and understandings of death. The reflective process deepened their emotional engagement with the concept and fostered acceptance of their mortality. They integrated the reflections into their life, striving to live with purpose and seek a fulfilling life.
conclusionsStudy findings emphasise how death perceptions, both cognitive and emotional, shaped participants' attitudes towards mortality and influenced their approach to daily life. The resulting insights can inform the development of culturally tailored interventions that promote communication about death and dying while encouraging acceptance of mortality in later life.
