Examining the Predictors of Life Satisfaction in College Students With Intellectual Disability.
Article in Journal of intellectual disability research : JIDR, 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
backgroundYoung adults with intellectual disability (ID) are increasingly attending college through inclusive post-secondary education (IPSE) programmes. However, little is known about their psychological experiences at college. The current study aimed to examine the role of belongingness, anxiety and depressive symptoms in predicting life satisfaction for college students with ID enrolled in IPSE programmes at 4-year American colleges and universities.
methodCollege students with ID (n = 129) from 21 IPSE programmes across the United States completed an online survey reporting on mental health symptoms, belongingness and life satisfaction. Programme staff (n = 21) from each of the IPSE programmes also completed an online survey providing information about their programmes.
resultsResults of the study indicated that there were significant differences in life satisfaction and level of anxiety based on gender, residential status and access to mental health services. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that belongingness was significantly associated with life satisfaction and accounted for 12.5% additional variance in life satisfaction, above and beyond the variance accounted for by race, ethnicity, residential status and mental health symptoms.
conclusionThis study provides information on the well-being of college students with ID attending IPSE programmes, indicating high rates of mental health symptoms along with the role played by their sense of belonging in relation to their reported life satisfaction.
