Atypical presentation of celiac disease with ascites and hypoalbuminemia mimicking malignancy.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that usually presents with gastrointestinal symptoms; however, atypical extraintestinal manifestations can occur, making diagnosis challenging. We report a unique case of celiac disease presenting with generalized edema, ascites, and elevated CA-125 levels, closely simulating an underlying malignancy. Imaging revealed diffuse ascites and mesenteric lymphadenopathy without the typical intestinal features of celiac disease. The diagnosis was ultimately confirmed by serology and small bowel biopsy. This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of atypical presentations and highlights the importance of early recognition. Celiac disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained ascites with elevated CA-125 to avoid unnecessary oncologic workup and delayed treatment.
