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

Letter identification impacts the developmental progression of future reading skills. In this study, we evaluated the effects of instructional prompts on letter identification in a single-subject design for 2 kindergarten students who experienced difficulties with letter identification skills. In Phase 1, we evaluated the number of letters participants correctly identified without instructional prompts, and in Phase 2, we evaluated the effects of 2 different instructional prompts and rewards. Phase 3 evaluated the combined effects of strategic incremental rehearsal (SIR) and the most effective instructional prompt identified in Phase 2. Results showed that an effective, yet different instructional prompt was identified for each participant and that SIR plus an instructional prompt was effective for further increasing both participants' correct letter identification. The results of this study demonstrated a useful and effective method for identifying instructional prompts, strategies, or other interventions that improve students' academic responding.
