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

backgroundThere is increasing awareness of nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) as a disease requiring treatment in Japan. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of omeprazole 10 mg and 20 mg once daily in Japanese patients with NERD.

methodsPatients with heartburn for at least 2 days a week during the month before entry into the study and no endoscopic signs of a mucosal break (grade M or N according to Hoshihara's modification of the Los Angeles classification) were randomly assigned to one of three groups (omeprazole 10 mg or 20 mg, or placebo) once daily for 4 weeks.

resultsOverall, 355 patients were enrolled, of whom 284 were randomly assigned to one of the three groups (omeprazole 10 mg, n = 96; omeprazole 20 mg, n = 93; placebo, n = 95). The rate of complete resolution of heartburn in week 4 was significantly higher in patients treated with omeprazole 10 mg [32.3%, 95% confidence interval (CI), 22.9%-41.6%] or 20 mg (25.8%, 95% CI, 16.9%-34.7%) than in the placebo group (12.0%, 95% CI, 5.3%-18.6%). No significant difference between the two omeprazole groups was observed. The rate of complete resolution of heartburn by omeprazole was similar between patients with grade M and those with grade N esophagus. Omeprazole also increased the rate of sufficient relief from heartburn. Omeprazole was well tolerated.

conclusionsOmeprazole 10 mg or 20 mg once daily is effective and well tolerated in patients with NERD regardless of their endoscopic classification.
