Internet Guidance on Feeding for Parents of Children With Autism.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2025. 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
purposeChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often struggle with consuming nutritionally adequate diets. When supporting a child with feeding difficulties, many caregivers utilize the internet for medical advice. Our objective is to evaluate internet accessible information on pediatric feeding for accuracy and completeness as pertaining to autistic children with feeding difficulties, who frequently have different needs than neurotypical children with similar difficulties.
methodsTwelve search terms were used across four internet search engines to explore a total of 110 web pages. Each web page was coded for (1) promotion of evidence-based recommendations on pediatric feeding (2) promotion of non-evidence-based recommendations about pediatric feeding, and (3) promotion of products for sale.
resultsEight out of nine evidence-based recommendations on food selectivity were unanimously endorsed by the analyzed web pages. Two out of five non-evidence-based recommendations on food selectivity (that a child will stop eating when they are full, and that food selectivity is "normal" for children) were endorsed by more than half of web pages. Twenty-two out of 110 web pages advertised a product that required payment.
conclusionWhile many internet web pages were written by or supported by healthcare organizations, professionals, and clinicians, limited information was found which applied specifically to neurodivergent children. Web pages did not frequently note that neurodiverse children may require a more specific approach to feeding and nutrition.
