Iterative quality improvement can occur faster than one element at a time.
Article in The American psychologist, 2013. 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
Responds to the comments by S. Hamby and J. Grych (see record 2013-31242-011) on the current authors' original article, "Disruptive innovations for designing and diffusing evidence-based interventions" (see record 2012-10813-001). Hamby and Grych implied that the careful and systematic testing of one element at a time is a prerequisite to its application in service contexts. This is certainly one valid approach to generating such evidence and follows the dominant paradigm of current scientific norms. In fact, it would partially contribute to a more molecular and theory-based understanding of intervention efficacy than we currently have; however, we believe that the choice to apply elements of an intervention or to study them first is a false dichotomy given the real-world complexities of behavioral interventions, ongoing need for interventions to impact families currently in need, and funding environments.
