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

Immigrant families of neurodivergent children face unique challenges when receiving special education services in the United States (U.S.). As a result, practitioners who provide services based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) in school settings should learn how to collaborate with and support immigrant families to improve their child's educational and behavioral outcomes. The purpose of the present paper was to provide a preliminary framework for school-based ABA practitioners to support immigrant families of neurodivergent children within the school setting. First, we discussed the barriers that immigrant families of neurodivergent children face in accessing special education services in the U.S., based on a review of qualitative studies. Second, we introduced an adapted version of Epstein (2010) collaborative framework to provide a supportive framework for school-based ABA practitioners working with immigrant families of neurodivergent children. Finally, we provided recommendations, along with a call to action for school-based ABA practitioners and ABA organizations, to improve the quality of life of immigrant families of neurodivergent children. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40617-025-01041-4.
