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

backgroundCoeliac disease (CD) is a lifelong immune-mediated systemic disease that develops in genetically predisposed subjects who show intolerance to gluten proteins. Intestinal wall inflammation with villi atrophy results in malabsorption of nutrients and leads to several gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms. High serum levels of anti-endomysial and anti-tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies can be revealed in patients with CD. The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of IgA, IgG, IgM, and C3 complement deposits in the oral mucosa and its condition in CD patients.

methodsThirty CD patients underwent complete clinical examination followed by mycologic evaluation, of whom 10 additionally had oral mucosa biopsy. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) was performed on the oral mucosa specimens using polyclonal rabbit IgG, IgA, IgM, and C3 antibodies. The results were statistically analyzed.

resultsThe most common complaints included pain due to oral ulcers, xerostomia, and gingival bleeding. Frequently observed comorbidities were anemia, allergy, and thyroid disorders. Common oral mucosal findings included white-coated tongue, linea alba, and atrophic glossitis. Candidiasis was revealed in 13 subjects (43.3%). IgA, IgG, IgM, or C3 deposits in the oral mucosa specimens were shown in none of the patients.

conclusionsCoeliac disease may increase the frequency of white-coated tongue, linea alba, and atrophic glossitis and may promote the development of oral candidiasis. However, there are no evident markers in the CD patients' immunopathologic examination of the oral mucosa specimens.
