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

Computer-based interactive tasks generate rich process data that capture respondents' problem-solving behaviors, particularly sequences of actions that trigger transitions between problem states. In recent years, the process-based measurement models analyzing transition sequences have emerged as a promising approach for estimating latent problem-solving ability. A fundamental step in developing these models is the predefinition of the transition effectiveness. However, existing effectiveness indicators are often limited to restricted value ranges (e.g., dichotomous or polytomous scales) and theoretical perspective of expert evaluation, thereby constraining the flexibility of process-based models. To address these limitations, this study introduces two probability-based indicators: state effectiveness
