Validation of the youth-nine item avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder screen.

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.
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
objectiveThis study assessed the factorial, divergent, and criterion-related validity of the Youth-Nine Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) Screen (Y-NIAS) in a paediatric clinical sample at initial evaluation for an eating disorder (ED).
methodParticipants included 310 patients (82.9% female, 77.4% White, Age M = 14.65) from a tertiary ED clinic. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) evaluated the three-factor of the Y-NIAS. One-way analysis of variance compared Y-NIAS scores across diagnoses. A receiver operating curve analysis assessed the ability of each subscale to identify ARFID presentations from the full sample. Two logistic regressions assessed the criterion-related validity of the obtained Y-NIAS cut-scores.
resultsCFA supported the original three-factor structure of the Y-NIAS. Clinically-elevated scores were observed in all diagnostic groups except for binge-eating disorder. Subscales were unable to discriminate ARFID cases from other ED diagnoses. Cut scores were identified for picky eating subscale (10) and Fear subscale (9), but not for Appetite subscale. In combination with the ED Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), classification accuracy was moderate for ARFID (62.7%) and other EDs (89.4%). DISCUSSION: The Y-NIAS demonstrated excellent factorial validity and internal consistency. Findings were mixed regarding the utility of the Y-NIAS for identifying clinically-significant ARFID presentations from other ED diagnoses.
