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

Recent data indicate that BACB certificants are largely homogenous with respect to racial and gender identity. There is also evidence that many practitioners do not receive training in culturally responsive service delivery (CSRD). Applied behavior analysis (ABA) graduate programs would therefore benefit from incorporating training on diversity and CSRD. In this pilot investigation, a pre/post design was used to evaluate the effects of providing ABA faculty members with a supplemental diversity/CRSD curriculum on the presence of diversity/CRSD content in course syllabi. Six faculty members, who were collectively responsible for teaching courses in an ABA master's program, participated in this study. All participants were provided with a general list of resources related to diversity/CRSD in ABA. The supplemental curriculum included tailored diversity course objectives and supporting resources for courses assigned to the intervention group. Results suggest that the provision of tailored objectives and supporting resources to faculty may lead to increases in diversity/CRSD content in course syllabi. Despite the methodological shortcomings of this pilot investigation, this study represents a preliminary step toward the development of a line of empirical research on ABA graduate training and diversity/CRSD. Implications for graduate training programs in ABA and future research in this area are discussed.
