Lifelong solid food refusal in an 8-year-old girl with a choking phobia: a case report.
Article in Journal of eating 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
backgroundThis case report describes the presentation and clinical care of an 8-year-old girl treated in an eating disorder partial hospitalization program (PHP) for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), fear of aversive consequences subtype, who had never transitioned from liquids and purees to solid food. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient's choking fears manifested as complete avoidance of solid foods, maladaptive mealtime behaviors, marked food selectivity, and significant emotional, cognitive, and interoceptive distress. This report describes the successful use of multimodal therapy, including Family-Based Treatment (FBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR), adapted for a higher level of care and delivered using an inhibitory learning-informed exposure framework, in combination with psychopharmacologic treatment.
conclusionsThis case highlights the applicability of the inhibitory learning approach to exposure therapy within CBT-AR for pediatric choking phobia and underscores the value of PHP-level of care for younger children with severe ARFID. It also suggests that targeting anxiety, appetite, and cognitive rigidity with psychopharmacological treatments may increase food approach and interest in patients with specific food- and eating-related phobias. Finally, the report illustrates the successful treatment of an atypically severe, longstanding illness and offers clinical guidance for similar cases.
