Using Visual Scene Displays with Young Children: An Evidence-Based Practice Synthesis.
Article in Journal of special education technology : a publication of Utah State University, the Association for Special Education Technology, and the Technology and Media Division of the Council for Exceptional Children, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We used the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Standards for evidence-based practices (EBP) in Special Education (Cook et al., 2015) to evaluate the effectiveness research on the use of visual scene displays (VSDs) and video VSDs with young children with autism spectrum disorder and/or intellectual and developmental disability (ASD/IDD). VSDs and video VSDs are designed to support communication for individuals with speech or speech-related disabilities. In a high-tech VSD approach, images are programmed (on a tablet computer) with "hotspots" that produce speech when touched. Twelve of the 14 articles located for the review met all eight quality indicators identified by Cook et al. (2015), and presented positive results for 37 of the 42 participants. We conclude that the use of VSDs and video VSDs can be considered an EBP in communication intervention for young children with ASD/IDD during social interaction activities commonly observed in early childhood settings.
