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

Objective: It is well known that celiac disease has a negative influence on patients' health and quality of life. It has a wide range of presentation from symptomless to multiple organ dysfunction but mainly gastrointestinal symptoms. Consequently, it is considered a main cause of mortality, morbidity, and health burden. We aim to evaluate the quality of life affected in gluten-free diet and to identify the serological characteristics of celiac disease patients in the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia and King Fahad Specialist Hospital. Methods: This is a cross-sectional-based study conducted in King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Saudi Arabia, composed of 58 patients with celiac disease for 9 years between August 2011 and August 2020. Results: Fifty-eight patents were included (79.3% females and 65.5% married), who were divided according to their ages into five groups. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and/or weight loss were the major patient complaints. A total of 64% of the patients had a +ve (tTG) IgA test at the time of diagnosis, while 17% were -ve. Of the studied patients, 78% reported that they had undergone a duodenal biopsy sampling. No other significant abnormalities were detected between females and males or among the five diagnosed age groups. Conclusion: Patients with celiac disease reported poor health-related quality of life across the board. However, social interaction, emotional role functioning, and emotional well-being were the most important factors.
