1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to assess the value of case-finding for unrecognized adult celiac disease (CD) in patients with reduced bone mineral density (BMD), verified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Patients attending for a DXA scan were investigated for CD using immunoglobulins, IgG/IgA antigliadin antibodies (AGA), and endomysial antibodies (EMA). All patients with a positive IgA AGA, EMA, or only IgG AGA in the presence of IgA deficiency had a small bowel biopsy. There were 12 cases of CD (12/978), a prevalence of 1.2% for the whole cohort. The prevalence of CD was 0.7% (2/304) for those with a normal BMD, 1.2% (5/431) for patients with osteopenia, and 2.1% (5/243) for patients with osteoporosis. Direct questioning revealed that all patients with unrecognized CD had subtle gastrointestinal symptoms or a history of anemia. Excluding patients without these symptoms would give a prevalence of 3.9% for osteoporosis (5/127) and 2.6% for osteopenia (5/191 ). This study suggests that there is no value of unselected case-finding for CD in patients with a reduced BMD. However, a targeted case-finding approach may be more valid and cost-effective with the initial selection of patients who should be investigated for CD based on questioning about gastrointestinal symptoms or anemia.
