Family vs Individual Treatment for Children With Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the efficacy of family-based treatment for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (FBT-ARFID) compared with individual psychoeducational motivational therapy (PMT) for underweight children with ARFID between 6 and 12 years of age. The main outcome evaluated was the difference between groups on change in percent estimated body weight (%EBW) from baseline to end of treatment (EOT).
methodA total of 98 children with ARFID were randomized to 14 sessions of telehealth FBT-ARFID or PMT conducted over 4 months. Assessments of weight/height, eating-related cognitions, and behaviors associated with ARFID were collected online at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, and EOT by assessors masked to treatment condition.
resultsFBT-ARFID was superior to PMT at EOT in promoting increased %EBW. There were no differences between groups regarding improvements in overall severity of ARFID symptoms or other related ARFID symptoms; however, baseline severity of ARFID symptoms moderated the effect, with children who were most symptomatic improving significantly more in FBT-ARFID than in PMT (exploratory analyses).
conclusionFBT-ARFID is superior to PMT for promoting weight gain in low-weight children with ARFID, especially children with greater severity of ARFID symptoms.
