Innovative Web-Based Future Planning and Well-Being for Caregivers of Individuals With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Protocol of a Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06065527 (Future Planning and Well-Being for Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities and Family Caregivers), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundNearly three-quarters of the estimated 4.9 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) in the United States live with family caregivers, 25% of whom are aged older than 60 years. People with IDDs experience disproportionately high rates of mortality, morbidity, and acute care use, often due to a lack of accessible, tailored resources to support them throughout the lifespan. Few caregivers engage in long-term care (LTC) planning, often due to a lack of information and support.
objectiveThis protocol describes the design and methods of the Future Planning and Well-Being for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Family Caregivers study, a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of the Map Our Life web-based LTC planning tool compared to an attention control website on caregiver-reported burden, caregiver-reported well-being, and progress in and communication of future plans for the individual with an IDD.
methodsThe Future Planning and Well-Being for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Family Caregivers study is a national, multisite, randomized controlled clinical trial with a target enrollment of 1050 family caregivers of individuals with IDDs at 6 sites across the United States. Participants are randomly assigned (1:1) to either the Map Our Life web-based LTC planning tool plus enhanced usual care or an attention control group consisting of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-sponsored health promotion website for people with disabilities plus enhanced usual care. Primary outcomes, including caregiver-reported burden, caregiver-reported well-being, and LTC planning behaviors, are assessed at baseline and at 1, 6, and 18 months. Data will be analyzed using mixed-effects models to accommodate the repeated measures design.
resultsThis study was funded in July 2022, received initial Institutional Review Board approval in August 2023, and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov in December 2023. Recruitment began in December 2023 and is scheduled to conclude in December 2025. Primary outcome analyses will commence immediately following the completion of final follow-up surveys.
conclusionsLTC planning is an important component of addressing health disparities among individuals with disabilities and their family caregivers. By focusing on using an innovative and accessible tool for LTC planning, the study addresses a critical gap in available resources with the potential to improve quality of life and reduce caregiver burden.
