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

Acid inhibition is safe and useful in several clinical settings. Proton pump inhibitors are more effective than H2-receptor antagonists in virtually all cases. Proton pump inhibitors should be used in: the eradication of Helicobacter pylori; the treatment of non-H. pylori-related peptic ulcer healing; for the prevention and treatment of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced upper digestive lesions; for bleeding peptic lesions; and, especially, in the short-term and long-term control of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The timing, the dosing and the specific drugs should be adapted to the particular patient, clinical situation and local factors. For instance, in a patient with active bleeding from a duodenal ulcer, intravenous constant infusion should be the preferred treatment. When seeking oral 'potent' acid inhibition (refractory gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, and perhaps Barrett's oesophagus), available data suggest that the pharmacological and clinical profiles of esomeprazole are slightly better.
