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 implementation of behavior analysis for the provision of autism services frequently entails the close supervision and direction of behavior technicians implementing programs designed and overseen by qualified applied behavior analysis (ABA) providers. To date, there has been no investigation into the geographic distribution of the supervision of ABA services, which has important implications for the implementation of a quality tiered service-delivery model. In this study, we examined county-level distribution of the supervision of ABA services by BCBAs in the U.S. as well as the number of Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) with an active credential overseen by BCBAs. The sample included all U.S. counties in 50 states and D.C. (
