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.

Abstract

backgroundNon-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) is a new clinical entity in the world of  gluten-related diseases. Nickel, the most frequent cause of contact allergy, can be found in wheat  and results in systemic nickel allergy syndrome and mimics irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  Objective: To evaluate the frequency of contact dermatitis due to nickel allergy in NCWS patients  diagnosed by a double-blind placebo-controlled(DBPC)challenge,and to identify  the  characteristics  of  NCWS  patients  with  nickel  allergy.  Methods: We performed  a prospective study  of 60 patients (54 females, 6 males; mean age 34.1 ± 8.1 years) diagnosed with NCWS from  December  2014 to November 2016; 80 age- and sex-matched subjects with functional gastrointestina l symptoms served as controls. Patients reporting contact dermatitis related to nickel-containing objects  underwent  nickel  patch  test  (Clinicaltrials.gov  registration number: NCT02750735).

resultsSix  out  of  sixty  patients  (10%)  with  NCWS  suffered  from contact dermatitis and  nickel allergy  and  this  frequency  was  statistically  higher (p = 0.04)than observed in the control group(5%. The main clinical characteristic of  NCWS  patients with nickel allergy was a  higher frequency  of  cutaneous  symptoms  after  wheat ingestion compared to NCWS patients who did not suffer  from  nickel  allergy  (p < 0.0001.

conclusionsContact dermatitis and nickel allergy  are more  frequent  in  NCWS  patients than  in  subjects  with  functional gastrointestinal disorders;furthermore, these patients had a very high frequency of cutaneous manifestations after wheat  ingestion.  Nickel  allergy  should  be  evaluated  in  NCWS  patients  who  have  cutaneous  manifestations after wheat ingestion.
