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

backgroundTriple therapy is recommended for Helicobacter pylori eradication, yet consensus on the duration of treatment is lacking.

aimTo compare the efficacy and safety of 1- and 2-week regimens of omeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin in a large, multicentre, double-blind and randomised study.

methodsA total of 909 H pylori-positive patients with duodenal ulcer, enrolled in 81 endoscopy units in Italy, were randomised to receive omeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin for either 1 week (OAC1W) or 2 weeks (OAC2W) or omeprazole and amoxicillin for 2 weeks. H pylori eradication was assessed by histological examination and carbon-13 urea breath test 4 weeks after treatment.

resultsBoth the intention-to-treat (ITT; n = 907) and per protocol (PP; n = 661) analyses showed no significant differences between the eradication rates of OAC1W (ITT 79.7%; PP 83.6%) and OAC2W (ITT 81.7%; PP 84.9%; ITT p = 0.53; PP p = 0.71). Both triple omeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin regimens gave significantly higher eradication rates compared with omeprazole and amoxicillin treatment (ITT 44.6%; PP 42.8%; p<0.001). Poor compliance was reported in 18.6%, 17.3% and 15.1% (p = 0.51) of patients for OAC2W, OAC1W and omeprazole and amoxicillin, respectively. Adverse events occurred in 9.9% and 9.6% (p = 0.88) of patients for OAC2W and OAC1W, respectively, and in 5.9% for omeprazole and amoxicillin (p = 0.11).

conclusions1-week and 2-week triple treatments for H pylori eradication are similar in terms of efficacy, safety and patient compliance.
