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

aim of the studyTo evaluate the prevalence and the type of liver pathology in children at the time of diagnosis of celiac disease (CD). MATERIAL AND

methodsData from newly diagnosed children with CD hospitalized in the university hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Liver pathology was defined as elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) and/or gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) serum activity and/or pathological changes of the organ in ultrasound.

resultsLiver pathology was detected in 17 of 149 children (11.4%). Ten patients (6.7%) had an elevated ALT serum activity, whereas no child had an elevated GGT activity. Pathological changes of liver in ultrasound (mainly enlargement or steatosis of the organ) were found in 12 patients (8.1%), of whom 5 children (3.4%) had simultaneously elevated ALT serum activity. Children with liver pathology had lower iron (Fe) (

conclusionsLiver pathology is present at diagnosis in a significant proportion of children with CD in the form of hypertransaminasemia and pathological changes of the organ in ultrasound. There is a correlation between IgA anti-TG2 concentration and ALT serum activity.
