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 research is a prevalent and useful method for evaluating the effects of interventions in special education research. A single-case graph "should make available all of the data that permit evaluation of the criteria for visual inspection, at the very least," while not misleading inspectors (Kazdin, 2011, p. 335). Although this is widely known, it poses challenges for multifaceted dependent variables, such as those that address both rate and a measure of quality, such as fidelity. Both factors may be important to accurately interpret intervention effects, such as those within cascading interventions implemented by natural change agents. However, representing both in a single graph is challenging. In response to this challenge, we present a single data set from a multiple-baseline design graphed in six distinct formats. Across these graphs, we discuss implications for visual analysis and interpretation and invite discussion of this important area of single-case research in search of recommendations for best practice.
