Piecing together the puzzle: A mixed methods study of the Abecedarian Intervention.
Article in Early childhood research quarterly. 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 Abecedarian Study (ABC) has been integral to demonstrating the impacts of Early Care and Education (ECE). It is important to understand the practices and mechanisms through which ABC had impacts on later outcomes, but a lack of implementation data limits our understanding of program mechanisms. The present study took a mixed methods approach to describe the mechanisms of the original ABC program. The qualitative study provides a detailed description of the ABC program based on historical program documentation and retrospective interview responses of ABC teachers and staff. The teachers and staff reported individualized coaching, child-centered environments and activities, and frequent teacher-child conversations were common in ABC classrooms. Informed by qualitative results, a mediation analysis was conducted with the original ABC sample (
