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

Children with feeding difficulties often engage in expulsion (i.e., spitting out) of liquid. Expulsion is problematic because it limits the volume of liquid that a child will consume. Researchers have used re-presentation as an embedded component of escape extinction to treat expel. Although studies have demonstrated that re-presentation can effectively reduce expel, it is unclear whether it should always be included with escape-extinction-based treatments. We describe a program evaluation project designed to examine the effects of re-presentation on liquid expulsion for children with severe feeding difficulties. We conducted a prospective consecutive controlled case series to compare the effects of a function-based treatment with and without re-presentation and reported on the outcomes obtained for 17 children. Various patterns of responding emerged across participants. However, re-presentation resulted in the greatest increases in mouth clean (i.e., swallowing) and lowest levels of expel for 10 participants. We discuss implications for research and practice.
