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

backgroundHelicobacter pylori-associated diseases and gastroduodenal ulcer disease are common conditions of major clinical and economic importance. There is thus a need for a guideline that incorporates the scientific knowledge gained in recent years and that takes specific aspects of the situation in Germany into account with regard to epidemiology, resistance status, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment.

methodsThis level-S3 consensus guideline was developed in accordance with the recommendations of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften, AWMF). It was commissioned by the German Association for Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Verdauungs- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten, DGVS) and prepared in cooperation with other scientific societies. After search terms were compiled, a systematic, IT-supported literature search was performed in the PubMed and Cochrane databases. The search was restricted to articles that appeared in German or English from 2000 onward.

resultsH. pylori infection can be accurately diagnosed either non-invasively (with a (13)C-urea breath test or a stool antigen test) or invasively (with a rapid urease test, by histology, or by culture). Gastric and duodenal ulcer and gastric MALT lymphoma are absolute indications for eradication therapy; relative indications include functional dyspepsia, the prevention of gastric cancer in persons at risk, the initiation of long-term treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), and the prior occurrence of gastroduodenal complications with the use of either NSAID or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). First-line therapy consists of a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) and clarithromycin combined with either metronidazole or amoxicillin, given for at least one week.

conclusionThis guideline enables the structured, evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection and associated conditions, as well as of gastroduodenal ulcer disease.
