Script Fading to Teach an Adult with Autism to Memorize Dramatic Scripts.
Article in Behavior analysis in practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The goal of this study was to determine whether the script fading procedure (SFP) could effectively promote line memorization, thereby facilitating inclusion in a self-chosen recreational activity for an adult with autism. The participant had previously demonstrated a skill deficit for memorizing a script for a theatrical performance, which was her preferred recreational activity. Although the SFP has been effectively used to teach various skills, previous research did not target self-chosen leisure skills or adult participants. Using a multiple-baseline-across-behaviors (scripts) design, the words of three scripts were taught and systematically faded. Following the SFP, the physical scripts were faded entirely. Through all steps of script fading, generalization, and maintenance, the participant successfully recited the script with nearly 100% accuracy. The SFP was effective in teaching the skill of memorizing lines and was the first to examine the effect of a behavior analytic approach on teaching a performing arts leisure skill.
