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

The use of evidence-based assessments is an important part of the transition planning process for high-school students with disabilities. However, few assessments inform vocational decision-making. The Vocational Fit Assessment (VFA) and VocFit data reports inform such decisions by providing an integrated assessment of worker abilities and job demands. There is a need to explore VFA and VocFit utility. This mixed methods convergent parallel study surveyed professional users (e.g., teachers, job coaches, therapists, administrators) of the VFA and VocFit data reports (
