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 determine the rate of endoscopic gastric/duodenal ulcers (GDUs) associated with use of aspirin (81 mg q.d.) alone or coadministered with celecoxib or naproxen.

methodsIn this multicenter, double-blind study, healthy subjects were randomized to receive daily aspirin (81 mg q.d.) plus celecoxib 200 mg q.d., naproxen 500 mg b.i.d., or placebo. Upper endoscopy was performed at baseline and day 7. The primary end point was incidence of GDUs >or=3 mm diameter.

resultsIncidence of GDUs was significantly lower in subjects receiving celecoxib plus aspirin (7%) compared with naproxen plus aspirin (25.3%; relative risk [RR], 0.28 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.17-0.45]; P < 0.001), but significantly higher than placebo plus aspirin (1.6%; RR, 4.78 [95% CI, 1.12-20.32]; P = 0.016).

conclusionIn a healthy population taking aspirin (81 mg q.d.), coadministration of celecoxib resulted in fewer GDUs than naproxen, but significantly more mucosal damage than aspirin alone.
