1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Classroom observation protocols can provide an exceedingly rich form of data. However, this is a double-edged sword, as researchers often struggle to take full advantage of the detailed data outputs. In this essay, we introduce a new approach to the analysis of classroom observation data, termed "classroom as genome" (CAG). We illustrate how real-time classroom observation data and genomic data can be viewed as quite analogous, both conceptually and in terms of downstream analysis. We provide both abstract and concrete examples of how the tools of genomics and bioinformatics can be applied to classroom observation outputs. We also show how this philosophy of analysis allows for the layering of information from multiple observation protocols onto the same classroom data. The CAG approach enables biology education researchers to explore detailed patterns within observed classrooms in a highly scalable manner.
