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

backgroundThere is limited data on celiac disease in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis or idiopathic noncirrhotic intrahepatic portal hypertension (NCIPH). Our objective was to evaluate for celiac disease in patients with portal hypertension in India.

methodsConsecutive patients with portal hypertension having cryptogenic chronic liver disease (cases) and hepatitis B- or C-related cirrhosis (controls) were prospectively enrolled. We studied tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody and duodenal histology in study patients.

resultSixty-one cases (including 14 NCIPH patients) and 59 controls were enrolled. Celiac disease was noted in six cases (including two NCIPH patients) as compared to none in controls. In a significant proportion of the remaining study subjects, duodenal biopsy showed villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia, and lamina propria inflammation, not accompanied by raised intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs); this was seen more commonly in cases as compared to controls. An unexpectedly high rate of tTG antibody positivity was seen in study subjects (66 %) of cases as compared to 29 % in controls (p-value < 0.001), which could indicate false-positive test result.

conclusionIn this study, 10 % of patients with unexplained portal hypertension (cryptogenic chronic liver disease) had associated celiac disease. In addition, an unexplained enteropathy was seen in a significant proportion of study patients, more so in patients with cryptogenic chronic liver disease. This finding warrants further investigation.
