Antiadenohypophysis autoantibodies in patients with nongluten-related gastroenteropathies.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo investigate the presence of antipituitary antibodies (APA) in the serum of patients undergoing gastroenteropathies (GEP) other than celiac disease (CD).
methodsAPA were analyzed in GEP patients (n = 103), CD patients (n = 94), idiopathic growth hormone (GH) deficiency patients (n = 21), and 98 age- and sex-matched controls. Indirect immunofluorescence was performed in cryostat sections of baboon pituitary gland.
resultsAPA were detected in 30% of GEP patients, 38% of them showed failure to thrive. No significant differences were found when we compared thrive impairment in negative and positive APA GEP patients. Indeed, normal values of insulin-like growth factor 1 were found in 93% of positive APA GEP patients. APA were detected in 52% of the CD patients. Ninety-one percent of them, in contrast to GEP group, showed significant growth impairment (P < 0.05) when compared to APA negative CD individuals. GH-deficient non-CD patients did not show APA.
conclusionsWe have shown the presence of APA in patients with nongluten-related enteropathies. The presence of antipituitary autoantibodies in GEP patients does not seem to be associated with failure to thrive as it occurs in CD.
