Cross-Cultural Differences in Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Sensory Responses in Individuals with Autism: A Comparison Between Spain and Colombia.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBetween 40 and 70% of the population with autism have been found to suffer from functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). The emergence of FGIDs is related to lower quality of life and greater medical resources, somatization and emotional instability. There is a paucity of research available that examines gastrointestinal symptoms and sensory responses in individuals with autism in different countries and cultures. The aim of the present study is to compare the possible differences between gastrointestinal symptoms and sensory reactivity between two samples of individuals with autism from Spain and Colombia.
methodsDifferences in gastrointestinal symptoms and sensory response were analysed between individuals with autism from Spain (
resultsNo differences were found as a function of age, sex and autism severity between Spanish and Colombian participants. More severe functional nausea and vomiting was reported by the Colombian sample when compared with the Spanish sample (
conclusionsDue to methodological limitations, sample size and other factors that could not be analysed in this research, it is not possible to draw conclusions about the influences of cultural or biological factors on gastrointestinal symptomatology and sensory reactivity among both autistic populations. This work could encourage more rigorous cross-cultural research in the future.
