Interobserver Agreement among a Staff Member and Visitors at a Wolf Sanctuary.
Article in Behavior analysis in practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The purpose of this study was to determine whether untrained visitors at a wolf sanctuary could collect behavioral data, within an acceptable range of interobserver agreement (IOA), using a freely available instrument on their smartphones. Two independent groups of untrained visitors continuously recorded one target behavior only or two target behaviors simultaneously. Observations occurred during a 50-min educational presentation with multiple wolves. Whereas IOA was at or above 80% for all participants, kappa was below the acceptable range of 0.6 or greater for some participants observing two target behaviors simultaneously. • Clinicians may consider the use of untrained observers for limited data collection purposes • Simple recording rules or pictures of conspicuous target behaviors may facilitate acceptable interobserver agreement • Clinicians may consider the use of a similar smartphone data collection instrument for untrained observers • Clinicians should be cautious of any competing smartphone behaviors that may interfere with the behavior of observing a target.
