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
purposeEating problems are prevalent among children with Autism. Early identification is crucial for intervention. This study aimed to validate the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI) for use in Iran and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).
methodsThe study involved a sample of 873 children, including 540 with autism and 333 neurotypically developing children, with a mean age of 7.09 years. The translation process followed a rigorous methodology, including obtaining official permission, translation, back-translation, and pilot testing to ensure cultural relevance and accuracy.
resultsThe BAMBI, a mealtime behavior scale, showed strong internal consistency (α = 0.832) and a stable three-factor structure in 873 children (540 autistic, 333 neurotypical) aged 2-14 in Iran and the KRI. The BAMBI demonstrated good discriminant and convergent validity, correlating strongly with autism diagnostic measures.
conclusionThe BAMBI questionnaire has been successfully translated and validated for both Persian and Kurdish languages, enabling the evaluation of mealtime behaviors in clinical settings in Iran and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
