Validation Evidence for the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) in Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundEating behavior is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors from early infancy, shaping an individual's relationship with food. Tools such as the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) were designed to evaluate these patterns in children and facilitate the early identification of potential issues.
objectiveThe objective of this study is to validate the CEBQ for use in Brazilian children and adolescents.
methodsParents/caregivers of students from public and private schools in southern Brazil completed the CEBQ. Anthropometric measurements of students' weight and height were also taken. Psychometric properties were assessed by internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), construct validity (exploratory factor analysis), and criterion validity (correlation between CEBQ scores and participants' body mass index-for-age categories).
resultsA total of 205 participants aged 3 to 13 and their caregivers participated in this study. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a five-factor questionnaire and a reduction of four items. All remaining items had a factor loading > 0.3. Cronbach's alpha values were satisfactory, with values ≥ 0.7 in all factors, supporting the instrument's internal consistency. The findings also showed significant associations between CEBQ scales and participants' BMI for age.
conclusionsThe findings of this study provide evidence that the CEBQ is a valid tool for assessing eating behavior in Brazilian children and adolescents.
