Understanding functional abdominal pain disorders among children: a multidisciplinary expert consensus statement.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Introduction: Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) are pediatric gastrointestinal conditions marked by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain without anatomical and/or biochemical abnormalities. This position paper guides primary care providers in the early diagnosis and management of FAPDs to improve the well-being of affected children and their families. Methods: A 12-member expert advisory board reviewed current approaches to diagnosing and managing FAPDs in children. Based on literature and discussions, 23 statements were drafted and voted on to achieve an acceptable level of agreement. Results: First-line healthcare professionals are key in diagnosing FAPDs, using ROME diagnostic criteria and recognizing red flags for accurate assessment and referrals. Comprehensive evaluation, including medical, dietary, and psychosocial history, physical exams, and basic tests helped to identify the initial triggers. Probiotics such as Discussion: This position paper provides expert insights to guide primary care providers in diagnosing and managing FAPDs, equipping them to make informed decisions for effective management of FAPDs.
