Association between employment status and quality of life for individuals with intellectual or developmental disability.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The current study examined how employment conditions (competitive employment, work center employment, unemployment) are associated with the quality of life (QoL) for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Using the Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale - Intellectual/Cognitive Disability (5th Edition; ComQoL-I5; Cummins, 1997a) to measure objective QoL factors, and the PWI-ID (Personal Wellbeing Index - Intellectual Disability, 3rd Edition; Cummins & Lau, 2005b) to measure subjective well-being, participants answered self-reporting questions regarding the seven QoL domains. Kruskal-Wallis H for Oneway Analysis of Variance was used to determine statistical significance between comparison work conditions. Results indicate significant findings in the objective QoL domains of Material Well-Being, Productivity, and Safety between the work conditions for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with participants in the competitive-employment group reporting the highest QoL objective scores in these areas. Implications of these findings for practice and research are discussed.
