Hybrid Threshold-Based Sequential Procedures for Detecting Compromised Items in a Computerized Adaptive Testing Licensure Exam.
Article in Educational and psychological measurement, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Using classical test theory and item response theory, this study applied sequential procedures to a real operational item pool in a variable-length computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to detect items whose security may be compromised. Moreover, this study proposed a hybrid threshold approach to improve the detection power of the sequential procedure while controlling the Type I error rate. The hybrid threshold approach uses a local threshold for each item in an early stage of the CAT administration, and then it uses the global threshold in the decision-making stage. Applying various simulation factors, a series of simulation studies examined which factors contribute significantly to the power rate and lag time of the procedure. In addition to the simulation study, a case study investigated whether the procedures are applicable to the real item pool administered in CAT and can identify potentially compromised items in the pool. This research found that the increment of probability of a correct answer (
