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

This case study explores the use of multiple pre-treatment assessments (functional analysis, reinforcer assessment, alternative self-restraint assessment, modified augmented competing stimulus assessment) to inform a comprehensive treatment package for an adolescent male exhibiting Subtype-3 automatically maintained self-injurious behavior (SIB). These assessments guided the development of a treatment package involving continuous access to competing stimuli and alternative self-restraint responses, differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors, and blocking hand-to-head hits across three contexts. The study also details many points of collaboration between the experimenters and the family and other specialists. Results showed decreases in SIB that were accompanied by a reduction in mechanical restraints and access to alternative activities.
