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 and antiphospholipid syndrome are two conditions associated with infertility, but their coexistence is rarely reported. In this manuscript, we present the case of a 23-year-old woman initially presenting with urticaria and vitamin D deficiency, subsequently developing recurrent miscarriages and osteoporosis over a period of 13 years. After initially presenting with urticaria and vitamin D deficiency, she was diagnosed with idiopathic urticaria. Thirteen years later, the patient was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome following multiple pregnancy losses and eventually underwent in vitro fertilization successfully with a diamniotic dichorionic pregnancy. Post-delivery, the patient developed severe back pain, due to underlying acute wedge fractures indicative of osteoporosis. Further investigations revealed elevated antigliadin and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies, leading to a diagnosis of celiac disease. She responded well to a gluten-free diet with significant symptomatic and bone mass density improvements. This case highlights the importance of considering celiac disease in cases of unexplained infertility and osteoporosis. Moreover, it emphasizes the need for early diagnosis of celiac disease to minimize its detrimental effects on fertility and bone health.
