Mental Health Classification and Care for Individuals With Intellectual Disability and Severe Challenging Behaviour: A Three-Year Follow-Up on Quality of Life.
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
backgroundIndividuals with intellectual disability and severe challenging behaviour (CB) often need intensive support. The present study examines whether mental health classification (MHC) makes interventions aimed at improving quality of life (QoL) more effective.
methodA three-year follow up of 122 men and 62 women with intellectual disability and severe CB, aged 18-70 years, compared number and type of support goals and development of QoL (San Martin Scale) and CB (Developmental Behaviour Checklist for Adults) of individuals with (N = 124) and without (N = 60) MHC.
resultsMHC was associated with setting more support goals. This had no differential effect on the development of QoL or CB. Improvement in QoL was associated with lower initial QoL, higher cognitive functioning and a lower number of support goals set.
conclusionMHC was not related to better outcomes. Overall, setting fewer support goals and higher cognitive functioning are positively related to the effectiveness of treatment.
