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

aimTo evaluate clinical efficacy of four one-week triple therapies in eradicating Helicobacter pylori infection.

methodsIn this clinical trial, 132 patients with duodenal ulcer and chronic gastritis were randomly divided into four groups, and received treatment with OAC (omeprazole 20 mg + amoxicillin 1 000 mg + clarithromycin 250 mg), OFC (omeprazole 20 mg + furazolidone 100 mg + clarithromycin 250 mg), OFA (omeprazole 20 mg + furazolidone 100 mg + amoxicillin 1 000 mg) and OMC (omeprazole 20 mg + metronidazole 200 mg + clarithromycin 250 mg), respectively. Each drug was taken twice daily for one week. The (13)C urea breath test was carried out 4-8 weeks after treatment to determine the success of H pylori eradication.

resultsA total of 127 patients completed the treatment. The eradication rate for H pylori infection was 90.3%, 90.9%, 70.9% and 65.6%, respectively in OAC, OFC OMC and OFA groups.

conclusionA high eradication rate can be achieved with one-week OAC or OFC triple therapy. Thus, one-week triple therapies with OAC and OFC are recommended for Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers and chronic gastritis.
