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

Severe challenging behaviors, such as aggression and self-injurious behavior, have a high comorbidity with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; Hill et al., 2014; Soke et al., 2016). Although we have effective assessment and treatment procedures for severe challenging behavior, the relapse of severe challenging behavior following effective treatment is highly prevalent (Briggs et al., 2018; Falligant et al., 2022; Haney et al., 2022; Muething et al., 2021). Effective in 2025, the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BACB) Test Content Outline (TCO; 6th ed.) includes a task-item requirement for Board Certified Behavior Analysts to plan for and attempt to mitigate possible relapse (BACB, 2022). Thus, it is important for practitioners to understand the variables that impact relapse of severe challenging behavior, and it is critical that they have access to tools to help them in preparing for and reacting to relapse in practice. The purpose of the current paper is to provide (a) a consumable framework on relapse for practitioners and (b) considerations for practitioners on managing relapse when it occurs.
