Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in long-term hemodialysis patients.
Article in Kidney international, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Patients on hemodialysis often have gastrointestinal complications; however, it is unclear if Helicobacter pylori infection is present in these patients. Here we determined the prevalence of H. pylori infection in 539 Japanese hemodialysis patients by measuring serum anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies. Endoscopy was performed on 299 of these patients and the results were compared to 400 patients with normal renal function who had also undergone endoscopy and sero-testing. A second cohort of 478 dialysis patients, within the original group, was checked serologically for H. pylori infection three times over a four-year observation period. The prevalence of infection in these patients was significantly lower than in those patients with normal renal function, irrespective of the clinical outcomes. The prevalence of H. pylori infection significantly decreased as the duration of dialysis increased, particularly within the first four years following initiation of dialysis. About one-third of patients on dialysis for less than four years became serologically negative for H. pylori infection within this observation period. Our study suggests that although long-term dialysis patients have low prevalence of H. pylori, they still have significant gastroduodenal diseases, such as peptic ulcers, that require endoscopic follow-up.
