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

backgroundThe liver and celiac disease (CeD) share a complex relationship. While in some patients, isolated hypertransaminasemia is the only manifestation of CeD, liver diseases (LD) may also be associated with the presence of isolated tissue transglutaminase antibodies IgA (tTG IgA) without histologic evidence of CeD.

aimsTo examine the yield of tTG IgA testing (a) in the workup for chronic liver disease (CLD) or cytolysis and (b) to identify biopsy-confirmed CeD (BxCeD) among patients with concomitant LD.

methodsRetrospective study including two cohorts. Cohort 1 represented 444 consecutive individuals without known CeD for which liver specialists requested tTG IgA. Incidence of positive tTG and BxCeD was evaluated. Cohort 2 included 212 consecutive individuals with positive tTG IgA and subsequent duodenal biopsies. The frequency and clinical characteristics of individuals without BxCeD were examined, with and without concurrent LD.

resultsThe rate of first time positive tTG IgA among the tests requested by a liver specialist (cohort 1) was 2.0% (

conclusionsAlthough there is clinical value in testing for CeD in the context of LD, there could be a high rate of positive CeD serology unaccompanied by histologic signs in patients with coexisting LD.
