Relationship Between Food Selectivity and Mood Problems in Youth With a Reported Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

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: Food selectivity and mood problems and disorders are commonly described independently in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about the relationship between food selectivity and mood problems and disorders in ASD. Methods: To study the relationship between food selectivity and mood problems and disorders, we analyzed data from youth (ages 10-13 years) with a parent-reported diagnosis of ASD from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD Study), with available data for the Block Kids Food Screener (parental report) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) ( Results: We did not find a statistically significant association between food selectivity and mood problems or disorders. Food selectivity for protein foods (i.e., consumption of a decreased variety of protein foods) was associated with more severe aggressive behavior/irritability (CBCL Aggressive Behavior T-score) ( Conclusions: While our results are negative overall for an association between food selectivity and mood problems and disorders in children with ASD, our findings should be interpreted with caution in the context of limitations of the presented analysis. Accordingly, future studies and analyses could incorporate objective measures and prospective tracking of food intake and food selectivity, deeper phenotyping of mood problems (including irritability), and detailed information about factors that could affect the relationship between food selectivity and mood in youth with ASD (such as the use of supplements and medications).
