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

Caregivers of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities commonly report concerns about challenging behavior during transitions. One variable that can influence the likelihood of challenging behavior during transitions is a disparity in the relative preference of the contexts being transitioned between. The purpose of this study was to assess whether prompting engagement with a moderately preferred activity between a highly preferred and low-to-unpreferred activity would reduce transition-related challenging behavior of a client diagnosed with ASD. Prompting engagement with the moderately preferred activity was effective at reducing the client's challenging behavior during physical transitions.
