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.
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
Intestinal anti-endomysium antibodies are a specific marker of celiac disease. The diagnostic accuracy of this marker seems high in pediatric patients and has not yet been investigated in adults, so the aim of this prospective multicentric study was to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of this marker in childhood and adulthood. Pediatric and adult patients undergoing intestinal endoscopy for any intestinal condition were enrolled. Serological celiac disease markers and HLA type were evaluated in all patients. Intestinal biopsies were analyzed for standard histology and for intestinal anti-endomysium antibodies with biopsy culture assay. In this study, 291 patients (145 adults and 146 children) were included. In the adult population, 34 were diagnosed with celiac disease, 105 were controls, and, in 6, celiac disease was not confirmed. In the pediatric population, 77 were diagnosed with celiac disease, 57 were controls, and, in 12, celiac disease was not confirmed. High diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of intestinal anti-endomysium antibodies were confirmed in children and additionally proven in adults. To conclude, we can affirm that intestinal anti-endomysium antibodies can be detected with high diagnostic accuracy in both children and adults. The implementation of this marker in the diagnostic work-up would help clinicians to correctly identify celiac disease.
