Mental Ill-Health in Mothers Caring for Offspring With Intellectual Disabilities at Different Stages of Caregiving: Secondary Data Analysis and Data Linkage of Administrative and Health Records.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2026. 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
backgroundLittle research has investigated maternal-carer mental ill-health at different stages of care-giving, including following the death of offspring with intellectual disabilities.
methodsPopulation cohort study of 9787 mothers of offspring with intellectual disabilities, matched with 30,235 mothers of offspring without intellectual disabilities.
resultsMental ill-health was significantly higher for mothers of offspring with intellectual disabilities (OR = 1.28, 95% CI [1.22-1.34]) than mothers of offspring without intellectual disabilities and at different stages: child (OR = 1.40, 95% CI [1.30-1.51]), adult (OR = 1.22 95% CI [1.14-1.29]) but not older adults (OR = 1.22, 95% CI [0.91-1.65]). Mothers with a mental health diagnosis, compared to those without, were significantly more likely to have long-term health problems, poorer health and socioeconomic circumstances (e.g., greater neighbourhood deprivation) (all at p < 0.0001). No difference was found between mothers' mental health whose offspring with/without intellectual disabilities died (p = 0.68).
conclusionsThis study provides unique insights into factors associated with the mental health of maternal carers and the need for services to better meet their needs.
