Feeding Management in Autistic Children During Early Childhood: A Scoping Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Autistic children often experience eating difficulties due to sensory processing, food selectivity, and other eating behaviors. As a result, the feeding process can be particularly challenging for caregivers and professionals in healthcare and educational settings. This scoping review describes interventions that address feeding difficulties, focused on improving food acceptance and reducing challenging eating-related behavior in autistic children under 6 years. The review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. We searched the PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), and PsycINFO databases, as well as manually examined reference lists, to identify relevant articles. Nineteen studies were selected by two independent reviewers for inclusion in the review. Among the selected studies, a variety of effective feeding strategies were categorized into three groups: applied behavior analysis (ABA)-based interventions, a combination of ABA-based strategies with others, and emerging strategies beyond ABA. These interventions have been reported to increase the acceptance of foods and reduce challenging mealtime behaviors of autistic children. Future research should focus on developing comprehensive interventions to improve the quality of life of autistic children, their families, and their communities.
