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

Celiac disease (CD) can present solely with atypical extra-intestinal symptoms. We describe a 33-year-old woman hospitalized for a one-month history of fever, myalgias, and tachycardia. Extensive infectious, autoimmune, and malignancy investigations were unrevealing. However, hypochromic anemia and elevated CRP prompted serologic testing, revealing positive anti-transglutaminase IgA. Duodenal biopsy confirmed CD with Marsh IIIa villous atrophy. This case illustrates CD as a rare etiology of fever of unknown origin (FUO), emphasizing the importance of celiac serology in the differential diagnosis of prolonged unexplained fever.
