Effect of rebamipide in treatment of Helicobacter pylori-associated duodenal ulcer: attenuation of chemokine expression and nitrosative damage.
Trial report in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Production of cytokines along with increased activity of nitric oxide synthase has been implicated as one of the contributing mechanisms of Helicobacter pylori-mediated gastroduodenal diseases. We aimed to evaluate the effect of rebamipide in treating Helicobacter pylori-associated duodenal ulcers in terms of cytokine production and nitrosative damage of the gastric mucosa. In patients with duodenal ulcers, rebamipide or placebo were given randomly after eradication. Mucosal cytokine production was measured by enzyme linked immunoassay, and nitrotyrosine immunoexpression was measured by immunohistochemistry. The inflammatory activity and degree of neutrophil infiltration were graded accordingly. The mucosal production of RANTES, interleukin-8, and TNF-alpha showed a significant decrease after eradication in patients with rebamipide after-treatment. The nitrotyrosine immunoreactivity of gastric epithelium was significantly decreased in the rebamipide group. Rebamipide treatment after eradication resulted in a significant reduction in chemokine production along with nitrotyrosine immunoexpression in Helicobacter pylori-associated duodenal ulcers.
