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

backgroundCeliac disease (CD) is an immune mediated condition that leads to small bowel atrophy and improve with a gluten free diet (GFD). Extra-intestinal manifestations of CD include hypertransaminasemia. In this study, the effects of a GFD on hypertransaminasemia in patients with newly diagnosed CD were studied.

methodsNinety eight new diagnosed consecutive patients with CD 40 males and 58 females) with mean age of 32 ± 17.1 were studied. All patients with CD were treated with a GFD. Patients with hypertransaminasemia, at diagnosis, had a cirrhosis screen performed. Patients with a negative cirrhosis screen were reviewed, 6 months after the introduction of a GFD, and serum levels of liver transaminases were measured again.

resultsNine patients had hypertransaminasemia. One patient was Hepatitis B surface antigen positive and was excluded from this study. The 8 remaining patients had no obvious cause for the hypertransaminasemia. Mean (± SD) of baseline aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were 42.6 ± 16.5 IU/L (range: 16-66 IU/L) and 69.3 ± 9.3 IU/L (range: 52-81 IU/L). Six months after treatment with a GFD, mean AST and ALT levels decreased to 24.5 ± 5.1 IU/L (range: 18-31 IU/L) (P: 0.04) and 24.6 ± 6 IU/L (range: 17-32 IU/L) (P: 0.01), respectively. In 7 patients the hypertransaminasemia, at diagnosis had resolved.

conclusionsThis study provides further evidence that some patients with CD have a reversible hypertransaminasemia that resolves with a GFD.
