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

backgroundAssessment of adaptive functioning is part of the classification of intellectual disability and borderline intellectual functioning and important in estimating support needs. Adaptive functioning may be impaired in clients with psychiatric comorbidity. We investigated relationships between adaptive functioning and psychiatric comorbidity in individuals with intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning using the ADAPT.

methodADAPT scores of clients with comorbid psychiatric disorders were compared with those of clients without comorbidity (N = 4376).

resultsIn clients with intellectual disabilities, ASD was associated with lower ADAPT scores while depressive mood disorder was associated with higher ADAPT scores. We found a negative relationship between number of psychiatric disorders and mean total ADAPT score.

conclusionWhen determining the severity of an intellectual disability or using the V-code borderline intellectual functioning, ASD and multiple comorbidities must be taken into account to prevent an intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning from being incorrectly classified.
