Extragastric diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori infection.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This paper critically reviews the current literature on extragastric diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, with an emphasis on methodologic issues that complicate interpretation of study findings. This review reveals common study limitations and overall uncertainty that H. pylori infection plays a role in extragastric diseases, although such a role has not been clearly ruled out for specific diseases of relevance. Evidence suggests that anti-H. pylori therapy may lead to improvement of a few extragastric diseases, in particular, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, iron deficiency anemia, and chronic idiopathic urticaria, but the data from randomized controlled trials are insufficient to confirm this beneficial effect; if the benefit of anti-H. pylori therapy for specific diseases is real, it is not clear if it results from removing H. pylori-specific injurious effects, eliminating some other infectious pathogen, or reducing the total infectious burden.
