How to Summarize Single-Participant Research: Ideas and Applications
Abstract
This article describes the need for systematic methods for summarizing single-participant research, describes various approaches for quantitative synthesis, and reviews conclusions of completed synthesis efforts. There is general, but not universal, agreement for the need for systematic literature-review procedures. Areas of disagreement center around the issue of whether outcomes of single-participant research studies can be represented by a single common metric and, if so, which metric is the most useful. Although several alternatives are reviewed, we recommend the use of the percentage of nonoverlapping data metric, and we describe several instances in which it has been employed effectively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
