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

backgroundCoeliac Disease (CD) affects up to 1.4% of children worldwide, with a rising global incidence. A less typical clinical presentation and the need for a life-long gluten exclusion diet raise challenges for diagnosis, management, and healthcare delivery with considerable impacts for CD patients and families as well as clinical services.

aimsTo explore the lived experiences of caregivers of children with CD to identify barriers and enablers to diagnosis, referral, and treatment to inform a more streamlined service delivery model.

methodsSemi-structured interviews with caregivers of children with CD diagnosed for at least one month with no significant co-morbidities. Interviews were thematically analyzed.

resultsSixteen participants representing 12 family units were interviewed. Children with CD ranged in age from 3 to 18 years. Time from symptom onset to diagnosis varied from one month to > 10 years and symptoms were mainly atypical and non-specific. Six key themes were identified: the iterative diagnosis journey, restricted choices, child responsibility and autonomy, mental load (encompassing foodwork, emotional rollercoaster, and lack of trust), Google™ reigns for information, and where to from here?

conclusionThere is a need to decentralize CD diagnosis and management to meet the increasing demand created by rising incidence. Participants highlighted the need for a more streamlined diagnosis pathway, increased training of health professionals, and access to age-appropriate resources. Efforts need to be made to advocate for increased community awareness. These insights will be used to reimagine and co-design a decentralized model of care for pediatric CD diagnosis and management in Queensland, Australia.
