Characteristics of Qualitative Research in Behavior
Article in Behavior analysis in practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Qualitative research is a common methodology used in fields such as education and medicine, but it is less common in behavior analysis. To explore the current use of qualitative approaches in behavior analysis, we conducted a scoping review aligned with recommendations from Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and Levac et al. (2010) across eight influential behavior-analytic journals to answer the research question: What are the characteristics of qualitative research in behavior-analytic journals? The search and screening resulted in 38 articles meeting the inclusion criteria across five of the eight journals. Data were charted and presented across basic publication metrics, qualitative approaches, study aims, and population or data source information. Most of the included articles were published in
