Frequency of Celiac Disease in Patients With Chronic Diarrhea.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionCeliac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease caused by ingesting gluten-containing foods and is characterized mainly by malabsorptive diarrhea. Furthermore, distinguishing between mild disease and asymptomatic individuals is critical and necessitates a high level of clinical suspicion. Short stature, delayed puberty, bone abnormalities, neurological problems, and intestinal cancer can all be consequences of a delayed diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of celiac disease among our community's recurrent diarrhea patients.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study aimed at determining the frequency of celiac disease in patients with chronic diarrhea. One hundred eighty-eight patients between the ages of 18 and 60 years who had chronic diarrhea lasting greater than three months were enrolled in this study. Stratification was utilized to control for modifiers. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsA total of 74.5% of patients (n=140) were male, while 25.5% (n=48) were female with a mean age of 38.48±10.85 years. The average duration of celiac disease symptoms was 8.17± 3.75 months. Celiac disease was found in 12.2% (n=23) of the individuals. Also, 21% of individuals with a positive family history of CD devolved CD, compared to those without prior CD family history (p=0.01).
conclusionsIn individuals with chronic diarrhea for more than three months, the prevalence of celiac disease was determined to be 12.2% (n=23). There was a statistically significant difference between those with a positive family history of CD and those who did not have the condition.
