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

Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact of a six-week gluten-free diet (GFD) on the iron profiles of patients with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and CD. Background: Iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a significant clinical feature of gluten-related disorders, especially Celiac disease (CD). Methods: The study included 29 CD patients (mean age 40.28 ± 15.57 years) and 29 NCGS patients (mean age 30.31 ± 7.78 years) presenting with IDA who were enrolled in the study during 2023-2024. Haemoglobin, serum iron, serum ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels were assessed at the beginning and after six weeks of GFD. HLA typing was conducted using the Real-time PCR-based SYBR Green method. Results: Ferritin levels significantly increased in both CD and NCGS groups after the GFD, from 43.7807 to 50.5279 ng/mL and 23.0862 to 42.9910 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, serum iron and TSAT levels significantly increased in the NCGS group, from 64.8034 to 81.3466 μg/dL and 19.29 ± 11.70 to 23.99 ± 9.05, respectively (p = 0.003). Conclusion: The most frequent symptoms in CD and NCGS patients were bloating/bone disease (62.1%) and bone disease (37.9%), respectively. GFD was effective in improving IDA in both CD and NCGS patients. Further research is necessary to assess the therapeutic effect of GFD in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and IDA.
