COVID-19 precautions experienced by a sample of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2022. 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
purposeThis study describes factors associated with COVID-19 precautions (i.e., self-isolation and the use of personal protective equipment) among a sample of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Ontario, Canada.
methodsThe sample included 756 home care recipients with IDD who did not test positive for COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2021. Among these, some received COVID-19 precautions. Precaution data were obtained from a large metropolitan organization serving persons with IDD in Ontario, and linked to home care assessment data. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using logistic regression models to examine the association between COVID-19 cautions and demographic and clinical factors. Effect modification and interactions were explored.
resultsOne hundred twenty-seven (16.8%) home care clients experienced precautions. After adjustment, congregate setting, aggression, and limited mobility were significantly associated with COVID-19 precautions. Age modified the relationship between congregate setting and precautions.
conclusionsPandemic responses need to recognize the impact on subgroups of adults with IDD, such as those living in congregate settings (including younger individuals) or engaging in responsive behaviors. How these precautions impacted individuals-in the short and long term-warrants further investigation.
