1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study compared anxiety and depressive problems in adolescents with a mild to borderline intellectual disability in a residential treatment facility (MBID-RT) to those in the general community (MBID-GC).

methodParticipants (N = 923, aged 11.9-19.3 years, M = 14.6 years, SD = 1.51, 42% girls) completed measures on anxiety and depressive problems. Part of this group (n = 155) participated twice, roughly 1 year apart.

resultsAdolescents in the MBID-RT subgroup reported statistically more anxiety and depressive problems (higher average scores, higher percentages above cut-off scores and higher percentage of comorbid anxiety and depressive symptoms). Over a 1-year period, anxiety and depressive symptoms decreased in the MBID-GC subgroup but not in the MBID-RT subgroup.

conclusionsFindings call attention to the high prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents with MBID in general, and those in residential treatment in particular, especially when externalising problems may be on the foreground.
