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

The design and practice of ethics in a profession can shape how it develops over time, setting the field apart from others. Professional training in ethics, however, is challenging. Application within the classroom is nearly entirely hypothetical, in comparison to more direct and precision-driven concepts and skills in the field such as data collection, schedules of reinforcement, assessment, and treatment procedures. This tutorial provides considerations for teaching the creation and use of decision trees in three parts (1) recommendations based on an interdisciplinary review of literature, (2) recommendations based on the results of a pilot study conducted by the authors, and (3) recommendations based on the authors' pedagogical experiences in behavior analytic graduate course sequences.
