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

purpose of reviewTo review the literature pertaining to the assessment and treatment of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) ten years following its introduction to DSM-5. RECENT

findingsSeveral structured clinical interviews for assessing ARFID have been developed, each with its own strengths and limitations. There is no clear leading self-report measure for tracking treatment progress and outcome in ARFID. Medical assessment is comprised of examining anthropometrics, vitamin deficiencies, and other comorbidities. To date, several studies have reported on cognitive behavioral therapy, family-based treatment, and other approaches to the treatment of ARFID. These treatments appear promising; however, they rely on data from clinical case series and very small randomized controlled trials. Several promising assessments and treatments for ARFID are in the early stages of research. Yet, controversies remain. These include (a) overlap with criteria for pediatric feeding disorder; (b) the optimal method for assessing nutrient deficiencies; (c) disciplines involved in treatment. Future research innovation is necessary to improve the psychometric properties of ARFID assessments and evaluate treatment efficacy with larger samples and randomized designs.
