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

objectiveTo characterize how social adversities influence disease control in children with celiac disease (CeD). STUDY

designWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from 325 eligible children ≤18 years old with CeD enrolled between 2015 through 2023 into iCureCeliac, a patient-centered US registry for CeD. We evaluated the associations between financial insecurity, social stigmatization, decreased health knowledge, and mental health comorbidity with 2 validated patient-reported outcomes on disease activity and gluten-free diet adherence: celiac symptom index and CeD adherence test, respectively. We used multivariable logistic and linear regression analysis to adjust for race, primary spoken language, and socioeconomic status.

resultsAmong 325 children with available financial insecurity data, the median age was 11 years (IQR 8, 15), 67% were female, and 88% were White. In multivariable logistic regression, the odds of elevated disease activity among children with financial insecurity, social stigmatization, decreased health knowledge, and mental health comorbidity were 2.6 (95% CI 0.9, 8.0; P = .09), 2.8 (95% CI 1.6, 5.1; P < .001), 4.8 (95% CI 2.4, 9.8; P < .001), and 1.9 (95% CI 1.1, 3.3; P = .03), respectively. For insufficient dietary adherence, the respective odds were 1.6 (95% CI 0.5, 4.7; P = .43), 3.3 (95% CI 1.7, 6.5; P < .001), 2.9 (95% CI 1.5, 5.7; P = .002), and 2.3 (95% CI 1.2, 4.2; P = .01). Statistically significant associations in logistic regression aligned with results of linear models.

conclusionsSocial stigmatization, decreased health knowledge, and mental health comorbidity were associated with worse disease control in pediatric CeD. Targeted interventions aimed at addressing these social adversities may improve disease activity and dietary adherence.
