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

backgroundPrimary biliary cholangitis (PBC) frequently coexists with other autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease (CeD). Although the prevalence of CeD is high among cohorts with PBC, few studies have directly compared this prevalence to those among individuals with other liver diseases (OLD).

aimTo compare the prevalence of CeD between a cohort with PBC and a cohort with OLD.

methodsRetrospective study from January 2013 to December 2016. All consecutive patients with an anti-transglutaminase (tTG) assay requested by a hepatologist and a diagnosis of chronic liver disease were included. CeD diagnosis was confirmed by duodenal biopsies.

resultsWe included 399 consecutive patients (53.1 years SD 14.0, 54.1% women), notably 51 individuals with PBC and 348 individuals with OLD. PBC group included significantly more women (90.2% versus 48.9%

conclusionThere is a higher prevalence of CeD in the PBC group compared to other liver diseases.
