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

Practitioners working in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA), play a vital role in meeting the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. Due to the lack of highly qualified practitioners required to provide ABA-based interventions, particularly in rural areas, many individuals are not receiving adequate services. Online training utilizing internet-based technology can provide staff training in a cost and time-effective way. This systematic review evidence synthesis examined the reported research on online-formatted training for ABA practitioners. A comprehensive search of multiple databases, including PsycINFO, ERIC, PubMed, PsycARTICLES, Medline and Scopus were conducted. The evidence synthesis included single subjects and group research design studies on online-formatted training for ABA practitioners. Training characteristics, outcomes, and research quality in 16 studies were analyzed, and the gaps were explored. Results were favorable, with all studies reporting positive or mixed findings. Quality ratings were notably low, especially for the group design studies. Recommendations for future research are proposed in light of identified methodological flaws in this type of training.
