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

Compassionate care is integral to forming positive, collaborative relationships with caregivers. The field of behavior analysis has identified a need to integrate compassionate care into professional development and service provision practices. Taylor and colleagues (2019) proposed core skills with operationally defined subskills to teach compassionate care across the domains of empathy, compassion, collaboration, and positive social interactions. The present study utilized a convergent mixed methods design to investigate the use compassionate care skills from the perspectives of early interventionists (EI) and the caregivers they coach. Data from online questionnaires, compassionate care logs, and semi-structured interviews allowed for a deeper understanding of the role and potential of compassionate care. Findings indicate that EI providers and caregivers value compassionate care and noted specific benefits related to improved outcomes, relationship building, and satisfaction. Overall, findings suggest areas of growth for compassion and collaboration skills that are relevant for the field of applied behavior analysis. Implications for research and practice are also discussed. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40617-023-00831-y.
