Correlates of Deliberate Self-Harm in Youth With Autism and/or Intellectual Disability.
Article in JAACAP open, 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
Objective: To identify correlates of deliberate self-harm (DSH) in youth with autism and/or intellectual disability (ID). Method: This retrospective longitudinal cohort analysis used claims data for youth ages 5 to 24 years continuously enrolled in Medicaid in a midwestern state for 6 months and diagnosed with autism and/or ID between 2010 and 2020 (N = 41,230). Cox proportional hazards regression examined associations between demographic and clinical variables and time to DSH for study cohorts with autism and/or ID. Results: Autism was diagnosed in 34.3% of the sample, ID was diagnosed in 30.6%, and both autism and ID were diagnosed in 35.1%. Sample youth were predominantly male (73.4%) and had an internalizing (74.8%) or externalizing (62.1%) mental health condition. At least 1 DSH event was identified for 734 youths (2.6%) with autism and 686 youths (2.7%) with ID during follow-up. Increased risk of DSH was associated with older age; female sex; history of abuse or neglect; and co-occurring externalizing problems, internalizing problems, substance use, and thought problems for the autism cohort and ID cohort and with the presence of a chronic complex medical condition in the autism cohort. Risk of DSH was significantly lower for youth with moderate ID and youth eligible for Medicaid via disability and foster care. Conclusion: Risk factors for DSH in youth with autism and ID are similar to those in neurotypical youth and include increasing age, trauma, mental health conditions, substance use, and female sex. Clinician and consumer education regarding suicide risk and its correlates in youth with autism and ID warrants study.
