PBIS May Not Qualify as Classical Applied Behavior Analysis. So What?
Article in Behavior analysis in practice, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Some disagreement exists over whether Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) embodies the features of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as described in a classic 1968 paper by Baer, Wolf, and Risley. When it comes to disseminating interventions at a societal level, a more compelling issue is whether ABA should become more like PBIS.
