Managing Feeding Problems in Persons with Autism using Behavioral Interventions.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: This study examined the effectiveness of behavioral intervention on feeding problem in persons with autism in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methodology: Pretest-posttest, control group quasi-experimental research with a 2x2 factorial matrix. Data was collected with the Feeding Behavioral Analysis Test. Ten (10) persons with non-verbal autism and evidence of poor feeding habits (selectivity by food type) attending a residential school in Ibadan participated in the study. The one-way between-subjects Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA) was used to determine the effectiveness of the behavioral intervention. Results: Positive reinforcement was effective in reducing feeding problem in children with autism (F(1, 7) = 3.023, p<0.05), compared to the control group (t (8)= -5.24, p<.05). Further analysis revealed significant main effect of the age of the participants (F(1,7) = 5.343, p<0.05). Conclusions: there is a need for teachers, counsellors, caregivers, parents, minders and clinical psychologists to adopt positive reinforcement in the management of feeding problems among persons with autism.
