1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWhile there are studies evaluating the eating behaviors of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and the eating attitudes of mothers, studies on eating behaviors and mothers' eating attitudes in children with CP with cerebral visual impairment (CVI) according to visual function level are in their infancy. Based on this, the aim of this study was to compare eating behaviors and mothers' eating attitudes according to the level of visual function in children with CP and CVI.

methodsA total of 90 children with CP and CVI aged 36-72 months, consisting of 30 level 2, 30 level 3 and 30 level 4 according to the visual function classification system (VFCS) and their mothers participated in the study. Eating behaviors of children with CP and CVI were assessed with the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) and mothers' eating attitudes towards the feeding process of their children were assessed with The Mother's Attitudes Towards the Feeding Process Scale (MAFPS).

resultsAccording to the results of the study, statistically significant differences were found among the three groups in all subdomains of the CEBQ-except for the emotional overeating subdomain-and in all subdomains and the total score of the MAFPS (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the emotional overeating sub-field of CEBQ (p = 0.184). In the post hoc analysis, a statistically significant difference was found in all assessment areas except the emotional overeating area in the pairwise comparisons of the groups (p < 0.05).

conclusionIn the study in which eating behaviors of children diagnosed with CP and CVI and eating attitudes of mothers were evaluated according to VFCS levels, it was determined that children at level 4 and their mothers exhibited a more negative picture compared to level 3, and children at level 3 and their mothers exhibited a more negative picture compared to level 2. Worsening vision was found to be a factor that negatively affected the eating behaviors of children with CP and CVI and the mothers' attitudes towards eating. The eating behaviors of children with CP and CVI and the eating attitudes of mothers should be included in routine assessments and intervention approaches that include mothers in this process should be planned.
