1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe present study examines differences in police stops, features of those stops, and stress outcomes between youth with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

methodsData from Wave 6 (age 15) of the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), a national sample of urban-born youth in the U.S., was analyzed in 2025 (n = 3,444). Logistic regression models first examined associations between IDD diagnosis and direct police stops. Negative binomial regressions and linear regressions were then conducted among the subsample of youth who reported a direct police stop (n = 918) to examine the associations between IDD diagnosis and officer intrusiveness, perceptions of procedural justice, emotional distress during the direct stop, and police-initiated post-traumatic stress (PI-PTSS).

resultsYouth with IDD diagnoses did not have significantly greater odds of experiencing a direct police stop than youth without IDD. However, among youth with a direct police stop, youth with IDD diagnoses reported higher emotional distress during direct police stops and higher PI-PTSS than youth without IDD.

conclusionThese findings indicate that direct police stops may have more detrimental effects on stress and mental health of youth with IDD compared to youth without IDD. Policy reform, officer training, and additional research are needed to safeguard the mental health and wellbeing of youth with IDD.
