Brief cognitive-behavioral treatment for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder in the context of functional dyspepsia: Study protocol for a feasibility randomized controlled trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAvoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) symptoms are common (up to 40%) among adults with functional dyspepsia (FD), a disorder of gut-brain interaction characterized by early satiation, post-prandial fullness, epigastric pain, and/or epigastric burning. Using an 8-session exposure-based cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for adults with FD + ARFID compared to usual care (UC) alone, we aim to: (1) determine feasibility, (2) evaluate change in clinical outcomes in, and (3) explore possible mechanisms of action.
methodsWe will randomize adults with FD who meet criteria for ARFID with ≥5% weight loss (N = 50) in a 1:1 ratio to CBT (with continued UC) or to UC alone. A priori primary benchmarks will be: ≥75% eligible participants enroll; ≥75% participants complete assessments; ≥70% participants attend 6/8 sessions; ≥70% of sessions have all content delivered; ≥70% participants rate Client Satisfaction Questionnaire scores above scale midpoint. We will also examine the size of changes in FD symptom severity and related quality of life within and between groups, and explore possible mechanisms of action.
conclusionsFindings from this trial will inform next steps with treatment development or evaluation-either for further refinement or for next-step efficacy testing with a fully-powered clinical trial.
