The Mediating Role of Eating Behaviors on the Relationship Between Sensory Processing and Maternal Stress: A Comparative Study of Children with ASD and Typical Development.

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
purposeThis study aimed to examine the pathways through which children’s sensory processing influences maternal stress related to children’s eating behaviors, with eating behaviors as a mediating variable. Furthermore, the study compared these relationships between typically developing (TD) children and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
methodsA total of 180 mothers of 90 TD children and 90 ASD children aged 3–8 years participated in the study. Sensory processing was assessed using the Korean Child Sensory Profile–2 (K-CSP2), while children’s eating behaviors were evaluated using the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI). Maternal stress related to children’s eating behaviors was measured using stress ratings for each BAMBI item. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 23.0 for Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and multigroup analysis to examine mediating effects and group differences.
resultsSEM revealed that children’s sensory processing indirectly influenced maternal stress related to children’s eating behaviors through eating behaviors. Multigroup analysis indicated that in the ASD group, sensory processing had a stronger effect on both eating behaviors and maternal stress related to children’s eating behaviors, whereas in the TD group, eating behaviors more strongly influenced maternal stress related to children’s eating behaviors.
conclusionThe study provides insights into the relationships among the three variables in both children with ASD and TD children, highlighting the necessity of sensory processing and eating-related interventions tailored to each group’s developmental level, as well as the importance of establishing family-centered support strategies.
