Using qualitative content analysis to understand the active ingredients of a parent-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention.
Article in Autism : the international journal of research and practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
lay abstractAlthough naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are supported by research for supporting the development of children on the autism spectrum, how they work is not well understood. This study reviewed parent reflection comments in a systematic way to better how one such treatment worked, when delivered by caregivers. Caregivers completed weekly written reflection responses as they learned how to use the treatment techniques. We studied these responses to understand caregiver perspectives on how their children responded to the techniques. The responses were then compared to a theory of how the treatment works. Many responses were consistent with the treatment theory; however, others were not. We found that individual techniques were associated with different child responses, suggesting that general measures of social communication may not measure these specific short-term changes. Our findings point to specific behaviors that may be useful to measure in future research, or useful as indicators of treatment response in clinical practice settings. Overall, qualitative methods may be useful for understanding complex treatment processes.
