A Retrospective Study on Clinical Features of Autoimmune Gastritis: Impact of Age, Sex, and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease in China.
Article in Gut and liver, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background/Aims: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is an immune-mediated chronic atrophic gastritis. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of AIG patients, stratified by age, sex, and the presence/absence of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). Methods: We reviewed the data of AIG patients treated at a large academic tertiary teaching hospital from January 2018 to October 2023. Patients were grouped according to age (≥60 years or younger), sex, and the presence/absence of AITD and the clinical characteristics of the groups were analyzed. Results: This study included 183 AIG patients. Older patients (≥60 years) had higher rates of pernicious anemia (26.7% vs 11.8%) and intrinsic factor antibodies (36.8% vs 20.9%) than younger patients (<60 years). However, no significant differences were observed in the extent of gastric atrophy, sex ratio, or serum gastrin levels between the age groups. Female patients were more prone than males to exhibit enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia (69.4% vs 39.2%) and had a higher prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) (25.0% vs 0.0%, p=0.004). AIG patients with AITD were younger (50.9±12.0 years vs 58.0±11.5 years), were more likely to be females (p=0.023), and exhibited milder gastric body atrophy (p=0.009) than those without AITD. Conclusions: AIG patients demonstrate age- and sex-related differences in clinical characteristics. Older patients are more likely to have intrinsic factor antibody positivity and pernicious anemia, while women are more prone to IDA. There is a high comorbidity rate between AITD and AIG, and patients with AITD-associated AIG are typically younger and tend to have milder gastric body atrophy.
