Private Equity in Behavior Analysis: A Reckoning.
Article in Perspectives on behavior science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Private equity (PE) refers to a financial investment model that involves investment firms pooling funds from multiple investors to acquire, manage, and resell companies for profit. PE firms have identified applied behavior analysis (ABA) service providers as a lucrative investment opportunity, leading to a surge of involvement within the industry. Although concern has been expressed about PE involvement in ABA, there are few resources available to behavior analysts interested in understanding its potential impacts. In this article, I will provide an overview of the risks and appeals of PE ownership and offer my reckoning of what may come of PE involvement in ABA.
