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

introductionCeliac disease is a disease triggered by a protein called gluten. Celiac disease has intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. Bronchiectasis is a permanent dilation of the bronchi that causes symptoms, such as cough producing a large amount of sputum, recurrent respiratory infections, and breathlessness. In addition, bronchiectasis can present in 60% of cases with chronic rhinosinusitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old Arab woman presented with a worsening old cough with an increased amount of sputum; the patient was diagnosed with Celiac disease 7 months prior. Investigations started with laboratory tests followed by a computed tomography scan for the head and chest, bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, and spirometry; the final diagnosis was bronchiectasis with chronic rhinosinusitis. She was advised to commit to the gluten-free diet, in addition to the medications prescribed for her bronchiectasis and chronic rhinosinusitis.

conclusionCeliac disease and bronchiectasis might share an immunologic disturbance that caused both entities, so Celiac disease should be kept in mind as an etiology for pulmonary diseases.
