Effect of a gluten-free diet on albuminuria in children with newly diagnosed celiac disease.
Article in Glomerular diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAltered gastrointestinal permeability in celiac disease (CD) is mediated by zonulin. The receptor for zonulin is expressed on podocytes. Therefore, we tested the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on albuminuria in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed CD.
methodsWe performed a cohort study comparing urinary albumin (μg):creatinine (mg) ratio (ACR) in CD patients vs controls and in response to a GFD.
resultsChildren with CD (n=46) had higher ACR compared to controls (n=21), 20.2±5.6 versus 8.4±1.1 μg/mg, P=0.16 and exceeded 30 μg/mg (microalbuminuria cut-off) in 7/46 cases. 17 patients had a follow-up assessment (interval 6.1±0.7 months) on a GFD. Baseline ACR was 20.7±5.2 that fell to 10.4±1.5 μg/mg, P=0.035.
conclusionChildren and adolescents with newly diagnosed CD have low-grade albuminuria that is numerically higher than controls and that declined after implementation of a GFD. CD may be associated with reversible defects in the glomerular barrier.
