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

The multiple response structure can underlie several different technology-enhanced item types. With the increased use of computer-based testing, multiple response items are becoming more common. This response type holds the potential for being scored polytomously for partial credit. However, there are several possible methods for computing raw scores. This research will evaluate several approaches found in the literature using an approach that evaluates how the inclusion of scoring related to the selection/nonselection of both relevant and irrelevant information is incorporated extending Wilson's approach. Results indicated all methods have potential, but the plus/minus and true/false methods seemed the most promising for items using the "select all that apply" instruction set. Additionally, these methods showed a large increase in information per time unit over the dichotomous method.
