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

aimDetermination of faecal gluten immunogenic peptides (f-GIP) has recently been proposed as new noninvasive method to detect gluten intake in celiac disease (CD). Our aim was to evaluate the use of f-GIP for the adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD) and to compare this new marker with traditional methods.

methodsWe enrolled both newly diagnosed cases and children in follow-up with CD. Adherence to the GFD was assessed using the Biagi score, IgA anti-transglutaminase (tTG IgA) and f-GIP.

resultsSeventy-one CD children, 40.8% new diagnosis and 59.2% in follow-up, were enrolled. Significant differences were found in the levels of faecal GIP between new diagnosis and follow up (median 185.7 ng/mL, IQR 67.8-318.8 ng/mL and 16.6 ng/mL, IQR 6.9-61 ng/mL respectively, p < 0.001). A significant direct correlation was found between faecal GIP and tTG IgA in the total cohort of enrolled patients (r = 0.5, p < 0.001). In the follow up group, 21.4% tested positive for GIP and, of these GIP + patients, 78% had a high Biagi score.

conclusionOur data shows that faecal GIP offers a precise assessment of even occasional exposure to gluten and suggests it might represent a less invasive instrument to check dietary adherence compared to traditional methods.
