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

introductionA small number of overweight and obese children with celiac disease (CD) has been reported.

aimTo estimate the prevalence of obesity, underweight and normal weight in a group of Iranian pediatric patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn a retrospective study from 2007 to 2015, 225 children less than 18 years old with biopsy-proven CD were enrolled. Data collected included demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, antibody titers and severity of small-bowel mucosal damage. Body mass index (BMI) profile of subjects was calculated based on the age and gender percentile at presentation.

resultsThe mean ± standard deviation (SD) for age was 7.4 ±3.8 and 62% of patients were female. Fifty-four percent of patients presented with a normal BMI, 43% were underweight, and the remaining patients (3.5%) were overweight/obese. The mean age of underweight and normal weight patients was higher than that of obese/overweight patients. Mean ± SD of TTG titer was higher in overweight/obese and normal weight children compared to underweight subjects. The majority of patients (195/225) had severe enteropathy compatible with Marsh III on duodenal biopsy. Most of the children had gastrointestinal (GI) and extra-intestinal manifestations on presentation. There was no association between severity of histological disease and BMI for age. Five out of eight cases in the obese/overweight group had an index case with CD in their family.

conclusionsThis study highlights the importance of considering celiac disease in children regardless of their BMI. Failure to diagnose CD in children leads to unnecessary diagnostic delays and long-term adverse health consequences.
