Early environmental risk factors and coeliac disease in adolescents: a population-based cohort study in Denmark.
Review in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesOur aim was to investigate the association between early environmental factors and the development of coeliac disease (CeD) in adolescents, recruited from a cohort nested in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC).
designThe study was designed as a prospective cohort study, nested in DNBC
participantsThe Glutenfunen cohort comprises 1266 participants, nested in DNBC. All participants were screened for CeD, and in total, 28 cases of biopsy proven CeD were identified. Data about breastfeeding, timing of introduction to solid food in infancy, use of antibiotics, infections and symptoms were parentally reported prospectively at 6 months and 18 months, respectively. We estimated ORs and 95% CIs of CeD in adolescents using logistic regression analysis.
resultsViral croup reported at 18 months of age was associated with CeD in adolescents with an OR of 3.2 (95% CI: 1.2 to 8.7). Furthermore, otitis media also reported at 18 months of age was linked with CeD with an OR of 3.2 (95% CI: 1.5 to 7.3). We were not able to find any statistical associations between CeD and breastfeeding, frequency of infections, parentally reported use of antibiotic and timing of solid foods.
conclusionIn this study, we present an overview of the relationship between early environmental factors and occurrence of CeD in adolescents. Our findings, despite limitations due to a limited number of cases of CeD, suggest a role of viral infections in the pathogenesis of CeD.
