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
backgroundCeliac disease is an important gastrointestinal disorder affecting many children and adolescents worldwide. Although psychiatric conditions associated with celiac disease have been previously investigated, studies examining its relationship with newly identified psychiatric diagnoses are limited. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a newer diagnostic construct, cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS).
methodThe study included children and adolescents aged 7-18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease who were followed at a university hospital, as well as a control group of nonceliac patients attending the same hospital. The two groups were compared in terms of CDS scores, ADHD scores as well as depression and anxiety levels.
resultsA total of 128 participants were included, comprising 64 children with celiac disease and 64 controls. Statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in total ADHD and total CDS scores (p < 0.05). In addition, depression and anxiety scores differed significantly between the groups (p < 0.01). Specific CDS items, such as SCT-1 and SCT-10, also showed significant differences (total Hedge's g = 0.799, p < 0.05).
conclusionThese findings suggest that celiac disease is associated with both ADHD and CDS. Therefore, in the clinical management of children with celiac disease, it is important to consider not only gastrointestinal symptoms but also potential neuropsychiatric manifestations, including attention and cognitive disengagement difficulties, in order to provide comprehensive care.
