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
Celiac disease (CD), a malabsorption syndrome with a genetic base, is a consequence of hypersensitivity to GLUTEN-containing foods. CD can manifest with classic symptoms; however, some unusual features like osteomalacia that has become more and more rare, may be the presenting symptom. We describe here a case of osteomalacia secondary to delayed diagnosis of celiac disease. This patient complained about progressive limping, weakness, short stature, and skeletal deformities. Radiological and laboratory findings were all in favor of osteomalacia. Celiac disease was mentioned according to the history of subtle intermittent diarrhea, abdominal discomfort and confirmed with intestinal biopsy and detection of specific autoantibodies. Improvement of patient's weakness and laboratory abnormalities was obvious after treatment with gluten free diet, vitamin D, calcium and other trace elements. In conclusion, this case affirms that chronic celiac disease especially untreated one, can lead to irreversible complications like skeletal deformities and short stature.
