The Incidence and Prevalence of Dementia Among Ontario Adults With and Without Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThere are more than 66,000 Ontario adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). While the risk of dementia is well established among those with Down Syndrome (DS), there is limited research in persons with IDD excluding DS (Non-DS IDD). This study aimed to compare the incidence and prevalence of dementia in Ontario adults with and without IDD over time and by demographic information.
methodsAdministrative data were used to calculate and compare the annual age- and sex-adjusted cumulative incidence and period prevalence of dementia from fiscal years 2011/12 to 2020/21 in three cohorts: (1) Non-DS IDD, (2) DS, and (3) No IDD.
resultsCompared to persons without IDD, cumulative incidence of dementia was on average 4.27 and 5.33 times higher in persons with Non-DS IDD and DS respectively and period prevalence of dementia was on average 4.87 and 5.93 times higher in persons with Non-DS IDD and DS respectively.
conclusionsGiven the increased rates of dementia within the IDD population, it is imperative that early dementia screening take place, appropriate health and social services are implemented and more actions are taken to delay the onset of dementia, while considering the needs of this population.
