Correlates of Anxiety in Children and Adults With Moderate to Profound Intellectual Disability.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 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
purposeIdentifying potential risk markers implicated in the development and maintenance of anxiety will inform theoretical models and intervention development. However, there is an identified gap in the literature exploring this in individuals with moderate-profound intellectual disability (ID). The current study sought to identify correlates of anxiety in this population.
methodsA community-based sample of 165 parents/carers of individuals with ID took part in a cross-sectional questionnaire study exploring the relationships between sensory processing differences, repetitive behaviour, intolerance of uncertainty, health difficulties, and anxiety. Demographic factors such as age and gender, as well as potential covariates including diagnosis and autism characteristics were considered in the analyses. Due to a paucity of validated measures for individuals with moderate-profound ID, analyses were explored across two existing anxiety measures.
resultsDiagnosis of genetic syndromes and demographic variables were not consistently significantly associated with anxiety once other factors associated with anxiety were added. Auditory sensory processing differences, intolerance of uncertainty and health difficulties were consistently associated with anxiety. Repetitive behaviour, tactile and visual sensory processing differences were not associated with anxiety,
conclusionThis work may help to inform explanations for differing prevalence rates across groups, whilst fostering an inclusive approach by including individuals with diagnoses associated with ID and autism, who may present to the same clinical services.
