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

Project Open (https://project-openaac.com/) is aimed at improving in-person expressive communication for individuals with complex communication needs who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The project includes intersecting research and development tracks. The development track aims to create an accessible, open-source set of tools that researchers and designers can use to develop and test AAC user interfaces. These tools are combined in a web-based platform called the Open-Source Design and Programmer Interface (OS-DPI) and situated for use within an inclusive Project Open Design Community. Benefits of open-source models to support innovation through collaboration among stakeholders, particularly in the early stages of design work, are reviewed. A detailed overview of the OS-DPI, associated Community, and future directions are discussed.
