Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveFamily-Based Treatment (FBT) is an emerging intervention for youth with low-weight Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), yet little is known about how parents conceptualize progress, learning, and maintenance of behavioral changes after treatment completion. Clarifying parent perspectives may inform future treatment modifications and shed light on potential mechanisms of change in FBT.
methodsThis qualitative study explored parent experiences (n = 19 families) during the final session of FBT-ARFID who were treated in the context of a randomized clinical trial. Qualitative data from final-session transcripts were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
resultsQualitative analyses identified four themes capturing parental reflections on learning during FBT: Progress Review, Parent Learning, Maintenance Planning, and Gratitude. Parents emphasized improvements beyond weight restoration, including increased dietary variety, reduced fear around eating, and greater flexibility at meals. Parents universally reported learning core FBT principles and increased confidence about their ability to manage ARFID in their child after treatment was completed.
conclusionsAccording to systematic qualitative analysis of parent reflections at the end of treatment, FBT for ARFID promotes parental self-efficacy, multidimensional progress, and meaningful parental learning related to managing ARFID symptoms in their children.
