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
backgroundAvoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by restrictive eating that leads to weight loss or failure to grow, nutritional deficiency, supplement dependence, and/or psychosocial impairment. The aim of the present study was to culturally adapt and investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the adult Nine Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake disorder screen (NIAS), among general population of Iranian adults.
methodsThis methodological cross-sectional study was conducted among 936 Persian-speaking adults, living in Isfahan, Iran. Translation of the NIAS was performed using forward-backward method. Intra Class Correlation (ICC) and Cronbach's α were used to assess test-retest reliability and internal consistency, respectively. Construct validity was investigated by using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent and divergent validity was determined using BMI, adult eating behavior questionnaire (AEBQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
resultsPersian version of the NIAS showed excellent test-retest reliability in all domains (ICCs: 0.989-0.995). The computed Cronbach's alpha coefficients for dimensions of Persian-NIAS were in the range good to excellent (alpha: 0.803-0.879). Persian-NIAS showed good known-group validity and differentiated persons with different levels of BMI from each other (P < 0.05). Construct validity evaluated by EFA led to extraction of three factors (picky eating, appetite, and fear), and the CFA confirmed the adequacy of extracted construct from EFA (CFI = 0.979, TLI = 0.958, SRMR = 0.037 and RMSEA = 0.077). Convergent and divergent Validity revealed significant positive or negative correlations between Persian-NIAS dimensions and different dimensions of the AEBQ, and HADS.
conclusionsThe Persian version of the NIAS is a reliable and valid instrument with applicability in a broad range of the population of Persian-speaking adults for assessing AFRID eating disorders in research projects.
