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

The purpose of this study was to assess the rapidity of symptom relief and 4-week efficacy of rabeprazole 20 mg in patients with moderately severe nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux disease. Data were analyzed from 2 similarly designed, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, U.S. trials. After a 2-week placebo run-in period, patients (N = 261) were randomized to 4 weeks of rabeprazole 20 mg once daily or placebo. Patients kept symptom diaries and scored symptom severity. Median time to first 24-hour heartburn-free interval was 3.5 days for the rabeprazole group compared with 19.5 days for the placebo group (P < or = .0002). Complete heartburn relief at week 4 was 32% with rabeprazole and 3.8% with placebo (P < or = .001). Rabeprazole also significantly improved other GERD-associated symptoms (e.g., regurgitation, belching, early satiety) by week 4 compared with placebo (P < or = .05). Rabeprazole provides fast and potent relief from heartburn and other symptoms of nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux disease.
