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

Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) involve obtaining repeated measures from one or a few participants before, during, and, sometimes, after treatment implementation. Because they are cost-, time-, and resource-efficient and can provide robust causal evidence for more large-scale research, SCEDs are gaining popularity in trauma treatment research. However, sophisticated techniques to analyze SCED data remain underutilized. Herein, we discuss the utility of SCED data for trauma research, provide recommendations for addressing challenges specific to SCED approaches, and introduce a tutorial for two Bayesian models-the Bayesian interrupted time-series (BITS) model and the Bayesian unknown change-point (BUCP) model-that can be used to analyze the typically small sample, autocorrelated, SCED data. Software codes are provided for the ease of guiding readers in estimating these models. Analyses of a dataset from a published article as well as a trauma-specific simulated dataset are used to illustrate the models and demonstrate the interpretation of the results. We further discuss the implications of using such small-sample data-analytic techniques for SCEDs specific to trauma research.
