Knowledge and opinions of asymptomatic adolescents and their caregivers on celiac disease screening.

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.
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
objectivesCeliac disease (CD) is an immune enteropathy caused by sensitivity to gluten affecting one per cent of the general population. Most people with CD are asymptomatic and some may be affected from childhood. Despite the latest recommendations of paediatric gastroenterology societies, targeted screening is still uncommon in clinical paediatric settings. A poor understanding of the asymptomatic population's opinions creates obstacles for broader implementation of CD screening. This study aims to fill this gap by reporting on the knowledge and opinions of adolescents and caregivers of children on CD screening.
methodsAdolescents with absence of classical symptoms of CD and caregivers of presumably asymptomatic children were asked about their knowledge and opinions of CD through a self-administered questionnaire.
resultsThere were 227 respondents including 76 adolescents and 151 caregivers. A minority of respondents (8% of caregivers and 23% of adolescents) were identified as having a CD-associated condition (such as hypothyroidism, type 1 diabetes, Down syndrome, etc.). A majority of caregivers (84%) and half of adolescents (49%) already knew about CD. Half of the respondents (46%) were in favour of screening asymptomatic paediatric populations and this agreement increased to 81.7% when they were confronted with hypothetical risks of 10%.
conclusionThis study reveals an increased willingness to screen when participants were faced with increasing hypothetical risks. This suggests that screening recommendations targeting high-risk populations, such as those of paediatric and non-paediatric gastroenterology societies, may be more widely accepted.
