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

This manuscript introduces the qualitative methodology interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to behavior analysts, highlighting the potential value that IPA could add to the practice and profession of applied behavior analysis (ABA). We provide a step-by-step description of this research strategy. Following that, we discuss potential areas of application of IPA within the practice and profession of ABA, potential limitations for the incorporation of IPA in ABA, and suggestions for behavior analysts interested in learning more about IPA. The incorporation of IPA within ABA has the potential to expand the scope of behavior-analytic research and to improve the quality of behavior-analytic service delivery.
