Comparing Emotional Development in Persons With Intellectual Disability With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Journal of intellectual disability research : JIDR, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIntellectual disability (ID) often co-occurs with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To better understand the needs of persons with ID/ASD, level of emotional development (ED) can be determined with the Scale of Emotional Development-Short (SED-S). This preregistered study examined differences in ED by comparing total, domain, and item scores between people with ID/ASD and people with ID.
methodsOne hundred seventy-four participants with ID/ASD were matched to 174 participants with ID only. Informants reported on the SED-S, which includes 200 yes-no items grouped into eight domains, with each domain including five stages of ED.
resultsThe ID/ASD group showed lower total scores (M = 2.19, SD = 0.97) compared with the ID group (M = 2.86, SD = 1.11). They also showed lower scores in all eight domains. When groups were compared based on total scores, people with ID/ASD in SED-S 2 scored lower in the domain Affect, while those in SED-S 3 scored lower in the domains Affect, Communication, and Peers compared with people with ID in the same stage. People with ID/ASD in SED-S 4 scored higher in the domain Peers compared with people with ID in the same stage. There was an uneven distribution of 'yes' responses, significant differences in 'yes' responses to 27 items, and a lower mean frequency of 'yes' responses from people with ID/ASD.
conclusionsAlthough this study was largely exploratory and warrants replication, results provide an important next step towards a better understanding of the emotional needs and behaviours of people with ID/ASD.
