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/

aimsThis study is aimed to compare the effects of nutrition which has been enriched with different amounts of gluten to gluten-free diets on weight gain, diabetogenic state, hematological, and biochemical parameters. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 40 newly weaned male Wistar albino rats used in the study were randomized into 4 different groups based on the gluten rations they were given. Following 12 weeks of diet they were killed and intracardiac blood samples were collected. Groups were identified as group 1 (n = 10): control group; normal rat ration containing wheat, group 2 (n = 10): gluten-free diet, group 3 (n = 10): ration containing medium level of gluten (normal rat diet+6% vital gluten) and group 4 (n = 10): ration containing high level of gluten (normal rat diet+12% vital gluten).

resultsIn groups 3 and 4, high-density lipoprotein was found to be higher than the other 2groups. However, when group 2 results were compared to the other groups; the highest T3, T4, creatinine and B12 levels and the lowest gluten-specific IgE level were observed. alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were found to be higher in group 1 compared to the other 3 groups. No statistically significant difference was detected between the groups in terms of other parameters.

conclusionThis study provides evidence that a gluten-containing diet does not cause weight gain, has no diabetogenic effect, and also does not adversely affect general health in relation to hematological, biochemical, and various endocrinological parameters.
