Applying machine learning to understand factors predicting pharmacotherapy for mental health support among adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Article in Social work in mental health, 2025. 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
Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience health disparities, including in their mental health. This often leads to disproportionate use of psychotropic medications, sometimes leading to serious side effects. We used machine learning to analyze an integrated dataset (years 2018-2022) from one U.S. state with 2907 observations and 850 variables to determine what factors were most predictive of pharmacotherapy use to support mental health needs among people with IDD. Our algorithm performed strongly, with the presence of mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders, documented behavioral support needs, and overall support needs all contributing strongly to the algorithm's accuracy. Implications for social workers and other mental health professionals are discussed.
