Study of association between atrophic gastritis and body mass index: a cross-sectional study in 10,197 Japanese subjects.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to elucidate the association between body mass index (BMI) and both Helicobacter pylori and atrophic gastritis.
methodsThe study involved 10,197 subjects participating in a Japanese mass endoscopic gastric cancer screening program. Atrophic gastritis was assessed by pepsinogen I to II ratio.
resultsIn logistic regression models, BMI had an inverse association with atrophic gastritis, with the odds ratios (OR) decreasing progressively to 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-0.79, P<0.0001) in the highest BMI quintiles (BMI >or=25.66) group compared with the lowest BMI quintiles (BMI <20.97) group. In linear regression models, atrophic gastritis predicted BMI (regression coefficient -0.326, 95% CI -0.469, -0.184, P<0.0001), whereas H. pylori antibody was not a predictor (regression coefficient 0.072, 95% CI -0.053, 0.198, P=0.3).
conclusionsA small, inverse association between BMI and atrophic gastritis was found in the general population. In contrast, no association was observed between H. pylori seropositivity and BMI.
