Clinical and histological resolution of collagenous sprue following gluten-free diet and discontinuation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Collagenous sprue is a rare small bowel enteropathy that has overlapping clinical features with coeliac disease; it is commonly associated with arthritic autoimmune conditions, which often require non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In the limited published literature available, there are putative suggestions of a link between NSAID use and collagen deposition in intestinal subepithelia in such patients. The authors present a case of a 43-year-old woman with long-standing NSAID use for autoimmune polyarthropathy and positive coeliac antibodies. However, distal duodenal biopsies revealed a thickened band of subepithelial collagen with villous atrophic appearances consistent with collagenous sprue. The patient was treated with a gluten-free diet and her NSAIDs were discontinued. After 6 months, her gastrointestinal symptoms had resolved with complete histological resolution of the collagenous subepithelial bands and villous atrophy on duodenal biopsy.
