Development of Autism Mealtime Behavior Questionnaire for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeFeeding challenges in ASD, including food selectivity, sensory sensitivities, and disruptive behaviors, can negatively impact nutrition, development, and family dynamics. Existing tools often fail to evaluate feeding behaviors across distinct domains and environmental contexts with cultural sensitivity. This study aimed to develop and validate the Autism Mealtime Behavior Questionnaire (AMBQ) to assess feeding difficulties in Asian children with ASD aged 2 to 8 years.
methodsFifty parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) completed the AMBQ to evaluate its reliability and validity, with 25 parents repeating it after two weeks to assess test-retest reliability.
resultsThe psychometric analysis results of the AMBQ demonstrated satisfactory reliability in both of the frequency domain (Cronbach alpha = 0.72, inter-rater consistency = 0.96, percentage of minimum detectable change = 12.26%) and distress domain (Cronbach alpha = 0.72, inter-rater consistency = 0.88, percentage of minimum detectable change = 18.43%). Meanwhile, convergent validity analysis revealed moderate to strong correlation between the AMBQ and the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI), with correlation coefficients of 0.60 for the frequency domain and 0.78 for the distress domain.
conclusionOur findings support the AMBQ as a reliable and valid tool for assessing mealtime behaviors and associated parental distress in children with ASD.
