Factors Associated With Adherence to a Low Fermentable Carbohydrate Diet in Children With Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders.
Trial report in Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThe low-fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet (LFD) has been associated with reduced symptomology in pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). The LFD is a complex dietary intervention that may be difficult to follow; thus, there is great interest in determining factors that contribute to adherence.
objectiveTo examine whether baseline abdominal pain, emotional/behavioral problems, or quality of life predict adherence to the LFD in children with FGIDs.
designThis was a single-group pre-post intervention design within a larger randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS/
settingThirty 7- to 12-year-old children with FGIDs were recruited from pediatric gastrointestinal and primary care settings throughout Texas from 2019 to 2021. Evaluated participants were randomized to an LFD intervention as part of a larger randomized controlled trial.
interventionParticipants received dietary counseling and followed the LFD for 3 weeks. MEASURES: Emotional or behavioral problems and quality of life were obtained via parent report, and abdominal pain was measured via child report. Adherence was assessed by using diet records and computed by a decrease in consumption of overall FODMAP intake. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: A hierarchical generalized linear mixed regression model examined factors associated with adherence.
resultsGreater baseline quality of life was associated with better adherence to the LFD (beta coefficient β = -.02, P = 0.03), and baseline emotional/behavioral problems and abdominal pain complaints were not significantly associated with adherence (all Ps > 0.28).
conclusionsHigher child quality of life as reported by parents was related to increased adherence to this complex dietary intervention.
