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

backgroundCeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion. Herein, we assessed clinical, serological and histopathological findings of a single-center, large cohort of CD patients diagnosed and followed-up over forty years.

methodsFrom January 1980 to December 2020, 1547 CD patients (1170 females; age range: 8-81 years; F:M ratio = 3.1:1) were diagnosed in an Italian tertiary referral center. Comorbidities and complications were recorded at diagnosis and during follow-up.

resultsCD diagnoses quadrupled after 2000. The most frequent phenotype was the non-classical CD (63.3%), and the most prevalent histotype was Marsh 3C (44.7%). Gastrointestinal manifestations, detectable in 51% of patients, were diarrhea (24.3%), bloating (28%) and aphthous stomatitis (19.7%). The most common CD-associated disorder was osteopenia (59.9%), predominant in females (64.3%); extraintestinal manifestations included anemia (35.8% iron-deficiency; 87% folic acid malabsorption), cryptogenic hypertransaminasemia (27.9%), and recurrent miscarriages (11.5%). Thyroiditis (26.9%), type 1 diabetes mellitus (2.9%), and dermatitis herpetiformis (1.4%) were the most common CD-related autoimmune disorders. Six patients had inflammatory bowel disease. Complications and mortality rate occurred in 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively.

conclusionsThis single-center, large cohort analysis confirmed that CD presentation changed over the years, with an increase of non-classical and subclinical clinical phenotypes.
