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

For educational psychology to be leveraged for the greater good and the creation of anti-racist bodies of knowledge, the value systems and patterns of thinking that undergird quantitative approaches require a re-orientation. In this paper, we critique quantitative educational psychologists' reliance on objectivity and neutrality by drawing attention to methodological trauma and describing tenets of QuantCrit as an alternative approach. Specifically, we discuss the importance of 1) the centrality of racism, 2) numbers are not neutral, 3) categories are neither natural nor given, 4) voice and insight, and 5) a social justice and equity orientation (Gillborn et al., 2018). When appropriate, we highlight empirical examples aligned with these principles to provide methodological guidance for transforming quantitative research in the field. We end with recommendations for engaging in this work toward a more just and equitable research agenda for educational psychology.
