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 current clinical evaluation used a multiple baseline across participants design to assess the effectiveness of intraverbal training in promoting value-congruent action identification among three autistic teenagers. Participants were taught to verbally relate value-congruent actions (A) to outcomes (B), and outcomes (B) to participant-identified values (C), with tests for emergent C-A relations. Two participants demonstrated emergent value-to-action intraverbals without direct training, while one required exemplar training for partial emergence. These findings support the use of relational training to establish derived intraverbals linking values to verbal identification of value-congruent actions. The approach may be especially useful in neurodiversity-affirming clinical practice to support clients in identifying their own value-congruent actions.
