Referral patterns and patient characteristics in pediatric feeding disorder care at a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic.
Article in JPGN reports, 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
Objectives: Pediatric feeding disorders (PFDs) are increasingly prevalent in the United States. Limited research has examined referral characteristics for outpatient feeding programs. This study analyzes patient referral characteristics based on referral patterns, patient demographics, and treatment interventions. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of pediatric patients evaluated in a multidisciplinary outpatient feeding clinic at a tertiary pediatric academic institution from 2021 to 2024. Results: We found a significant difference in the rate of referrals to our pediatric feeding program ( Conclusions: Given the high rate of referrals from PCPs, there is a significant opportunity to improve resource utilization and focus efforts on feeding disorders education for referring providers. In contrast, an accelerated pathway may need to be considered for patient referrals from specialists and neonatology due to higher comorbidities and the need for feeding tubes in this referral group. In the feeding tube category, our study also suggests that there may be no difference in the rates of aversive behaviors between different types of tubes used for enteral feeding; this may help guide provider/parent decision-making during enteral access selection.
