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

Background Researchers have studied the effects of age, treatment intensity, and treatment duration with applied behavior analysis (ABA) outcomes in autistic individuals. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the predictive capabilities of age, intensity, and duration of treatment, open behavioral targets, and behavior maintenance failure on behavioral target mastery. Methods A retrospective cohort of 100 autistic individuals treated with ABA with functional analysis and discrete trial training, mass trials, and naturalistic training were treated and analyzed. Target behavioral mastery data was collected via a retrospective chart review contained within the "Catalyst" tracking software. ABA treatment was administered for three months between March 19, 2023, and June 11, 2023. Multiple linear regression was performed using the percentage of behavioral targets mastered as the dependent variable. The independent variables were age, average trials to behavioral mastery, average teaching days to behavioral mastery, and percentage of behavioral targets that failed in maintenance. Results The multiple linear regression model was statistically significant (R=0.443, R²=0.196, adjusted R
