Assessing the Impact of Celiac Disease on the Quality of Life in Jordan.

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
introductionCeliac disease profoundly impacts individuals' daily lives, prompting the need to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in affected children. This study aimed to evaluate HRQoL among Jordanian children with celiac disease, considering sex, dietary adherence, presence or absence of growth issues, concurrent chronic diseases, and duration since diagnosis.
methodsA cross-sectional study invited children from the Celiac Disease Care Providers Society to complete an online Kidscreen-52 questionnaire in Arabic. Descriptive statistics and T-scores for 10 health domains were analyzed against international benchmarks. Cohorts were stratified by concurrent diseases, disease duration, dietary adherence, and growth issues, with comparisons made using t-tests and Cohen's ds.
resultsAmong 400 registered members, 126 children (31.5%) participated. Males exhibited inferior HRQoL in multiple domains compared to the general population, with recent studies corroborating findings in females. Males with chronic diseases reported significantly worse moods and self-perception. Females with growth issues faced academic challenges and financial constraints, while those not strictly adherent to a gluten-free diet reported strained parental relationships and challenges in their home environment.
conclusionThis study reveals a marked decline in HRQoL among Jordanian children with celiac disease, emphasizing the need for educational initiatives targeting patients and healthcare providers, alongside broader advocacy for gluten-free diet support. Further research is imperative to identify additional contributing factors and implement community-level interventions.
