Approach to providing care for aging adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo provide an approach to caring for aging adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the context of the onset of new or worsening chronic illnesses and the need for planning for the end of life. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: A MEDLINE search identified few review articles in the past 10 years. This review builds on relevant articles and the experiences of the author and colleagues working with aging adults with IDD and their families, physicians, and other caregivers. MAIN MESSAGE: To provide care to this patient group, physicians must understand the diverse cognitive abilities of adults with IDD; the risk factors for physical and mental illnesses; concerns related to diagnostic overshadowing; and the need for coordinating individual care plans for those with serious and terminal illnesses.
conclusionPrimary care physicians can provide and coordinate appropriate care for patients with IDD as they face the health challenges associated with aging and dying. Being aware of patients' baseline cognitive abilities and decision-making skills, as well as changes in cognitive abilities associated with aging and complexity of illness, will help determine patients' capacity to consent, identify appropriate treatment choices, and guide coordination of care. Further research and consensus statements are needed to guide best practices based on the Canadian experience and to allow continuing development of caring, professional, and competent providers to support aging adults with all levels of IDD.
