The GRoNC: Guidelines for Reporting on Norm-Referenced and Criterion-Referenced Scores.
Article in Assessment, 2026. 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
Psychological test manuals vary widely in their reporting of the construction and interpretation of standardized scores. Consequently, the critical evaluation of norm quality and meaning is difficult for test users and reviewers. Because a specific standard for reporting on standardized scores is lacking, we developed Guidelines for Reporting on Norm-referenced and Criterion-referenced Scores (GRoNC), following a systematic approach for creating reporting guidelines (EQUATOR). The development took place in two stages: Stage 1, developing a preliminary version of the GRoNC based on a literature review; Stage 2, a Delphi process in two rounds, involving both theoretical experts (
