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

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) occurs in patients of all ages, with certain populations at increased risk. When diagnosing ARFID, it is important to assess a range of ARFID symptoms that result in diminished dietary variety and/or intake (eg, food selectivity, fears of eating-related physical sensations, low appetite) and associated consequences (eg, psychosocial impairment, malnutrition) as well as symptoms of other disorders that may better account for ARFID symptoms. Although there are currently no "gold-standard" ARFID treatments, existing treatments to date involve regularization of eating, exposure to physical sensations and/or novel/feared foods, and caregiver/familial involvement when appropriate.
