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

Background: Most evidence on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has been obtained from web- or telephone-based surveys. In particular, few laboratory data, often incomplete, have been reported on the frequency of COVID-19-related serology at celiac disease (CD) diagnosis or on the effects of COVID-19 on the development of CD-specific autoimmunity. Objectives: The objective of this retrospective cross-sectional case/control study was to: (1) evaluate the frequency of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in 78 children and adolescents at CD diagnosis (CD, 44 females, median age 7.4 years); (2) evaluate the frequency of IgA-anti-transglutaminase antibodies (IgA-tTGAbs) in 97 nonceliac patients (50 females, median age 9.0 years) who contracted SARS-CoV-2 infection during the pandemic (February-April 2021). As a control (CTRL) group, we analyzed 141 healthy subjects (79 females, median age 9.8 years) enrolled during the pandemic. Methods: SARS-CoV-2 IgM- and IgG-antibodies were detected by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassays. IgA-tTGAbs were detected by a fluid-phase radioimmunoassay. Results: Six out of 78 (7.7%) CD patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2Abs, with a frequency not significantly different from CTRL subjects (9.2%). None of the 97 nonceliac COVID-19 patients tested positive for IgA-tTG antibodies. Conclusion: These 2 distinct research approaches showed (1) similar frequencies of SARS-CoV-2 immunoreactivities in CD patients and CTRL subjects and, (2) no ability of SARS-CoV-2 to induce a CD-specific immune response, at least in the 3-4 months following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
