Tutorial: Small-N Power Analysis.
Article in Perspectives on behavior science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Power analysis is an overlooked and underreported aspect of study design. A priori power analysis involves estimating the sample size required for a study based on predetermined maximum tolerable Type I and II error rates and the minimum effect size that would be clinically, practically, or theoretically meaningful. Power is more often discussed within the context of large-N group designs, but power analyses can be used in small-N research and within-subjects designs to maximize the probative value of the research. In this tutorial, case studies illustrate how power analysis can be used by behavior analysts to compare two independent groups, behavior in baseline and intervention conditions, and response characteristics across multiple within-subject treatments. After reading this tutorial, the reader will be able to estimate just noticeable differences using means and standard deviations, convert them to standardized effect sizes, and use G*Power to determine the sample size needed to detect an effect with desired power.
