Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Farsi Version of the Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Screen (F-NIAS): Age, Sex, Weight, and Urbanization Group Differences in Disorder Risk Among Adolescents.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) symptoms are prevalent among adolescents, yet no validated scale exists for Iran. This study evaluated the factor structure, measurement invariance, and prevalence of ARFID symptoms among adolescents at high risk for ARFID using the Farsi Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Screen (F-NIAS). Following translation and back-translation, 1,243 adolescents (75.9% girls) completed the F-NIAS. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original three-factor structure with a good model fit. The scale demonstrated measurement invariance across sex, age, weight status, and residency, ensuring consistent performance across groups. Girls and younger adolescents showed higher ARFID symptoms than boys and older adolescents. Adolescents with average body mass index were more likely than those with higher weight to screen at high risk based on picky eating. Urban adolescents reported more low appetite-related restrictions. The F-NIAS is a valid scale for assessing ARFID symptoms in Iranian adolescents at risk for ARFID.
