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

Food allergy (FA) is a chronic condition that can markedly affect family quality of life (QoL). Children's food neophobia (FN) may increase dietary management difficulties and parental stress, while maternal personality traits can shape family adjustment. This study examined the associations between maternal neuroticism, child FN, and the perceived impact of FA on family QoL, also considering the influence of child age. Sixty-three Portuguese mothers of children with physician-diagnosed FA completed a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and validated self-report measures: the Food Neophobia Scale for Children, the NEO Five-Factor Inventory, and the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire - Parent Form (FAQLQ-PF). Preliminary correlations guided predictor selection, followed by multiple linear regression models (enter method) for each FAQLQ-PF subscale: Emotional Impact, Food Anxiety, and Dietary/Social Limitations. Higher maternal neuroticism, greater child FN, and older child age were significantly associated with a greater perceived impact of FA on family QoL. The models explained 35.5% of the variance in Emotional Impact, F (3, 58) = 12.19, p < .001; 35.5% in Food Anxiety, F (3, 58) = 12.19, p < .001; and 32.9% in Dietary/Social Limitations, F (3, 56) = 10.66, p < .001. These findings underscore the need to integrate psychological screening and tailored psychosocial support into allergy care, addressing both maternal emotional traits and child eating behaviors to promote adaptive family functioning.
