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

Celiac disease (CD) is increasingly diagnosed without endoscopy. As such, the need for accurate serological markers to aid in the diagnosis and follow-up of CD has increased. Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) is a cytosolic protein present in enterocytes, whose blood levels reflect mucosal damage in a reliable and quantifiable way. The aim of this study was to compare I-FABP levels in newly diagnosed patients with CD and to examine changes in levels following 6 months of gluten-free diet (GFD). Methods: A prospective observational case control study of pediatric patients diagnosed with CD, with measurements of tissue transglutaminase IgA (TTG-IgA) and I-FABP levels at diagnosis and after 6 months of gluten free diet were compared to a control group of nonceliac patients. Results: This study included 35 patients and 32 controls. The CD group had higher I-FABP levels at diagnosis compared with the control group (median 641.7 pg/mL versus 334 pg/mL; Conclusions: I-FABP levels are increased in patients with CD at diagnosis compared with controls and decrease significantly while patients adhere to GFD.
