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 AND
aimsData on work absenteeism in celiac disease (CD) are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the hours of work lost, reasons for work absenteeism, and their association with quality of life (QOL) and psychological morbidity in celiac patients on a gluten-free diet (GFD).
methodsAdult celiac patients on a GFD were enrolled in a cross-sectional Italian study between October-2022 and October-2024. The survey included the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI:CD), the Celiac Disease-specific Quality of Life scale (CD-QOL), the Beck Depression Inventory scale (BDI), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scale (STAI-Y). A multivariable analysis was conducted to identify factors independently associated with work absenteeism.
results167 patients (121F, mean age at diagnosis of CD 32 ± 13 years) were enrolled. 23/167 (13.8%) lost working hours in the previous 30 days (mean of 6.61 h missed at work at 30 days). Reasons behind work absenteeism included outpatient clinic attendance (55.4%), symptom persistence despite a GFD (30.4%), and issues with GFD adherence (14.3%). Over a 30-day span, absentees had more ongoing symptoms despite the GFD (95.7% vs 67.4%, p = 0.05), higher scores on depression (median BDI-II score 12 vs 6, p = 0.04), and lower QOL (median CD-QOL score 79.0 vs 85.5, p = 0.015) than those who did not lose working hours. At multivariable analysis, being on a GFD for < 1 year (p = 0.001), and persistent symptoms despite a GFD (p = 0.04) were strongly associated with work absenteeism at 30 days.
conclusionsCD can significantly impair work activities. Persistent symptoms and GFD < 1 year are strongly associated with work impairment. Clinicians should be aware of and manage these issues.
