Feasibility and Preliminary Impacts of a Stress Reduction Intervention for Caregivers of Adolescents and Young Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
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
backgroundFamily caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities often experience chronic stress and poor mental and physical health. This study examined the feasibility of a 12-week single-arm intervention to reduce caregiver stress.
methodsThe caregiver intervention included a yoga class and informational support group. Feasibility measures included recruitment, attendance, retention, fidelity and acceptability (interviews). Exploratory impacts on perceived and physiological stress (salivary cortisol), social support, caregiver strain, family empowerment, sleep, physical activity and body mass index were assessed by percent change across the intervention.
resultsTwenty caregivers enrolled (95% retained) and participants attended 67% of sessions. Intervention fidelity was 95%. Semi-structured interviews revealed high acceptability of the intervention. Perceived stress decreased by 5.8% and cortisol decreased by 24.1%. Changes in all but one exploratory outcome were in desirable directions.
conclusionsThe intervention was feasible and acceptable among participants with positive initial effects on the majority of exploratory outcomes.
