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

backgroundStudies with CYP2C19 slow metabolizers have shown that the combination of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) plus amoxicillin (dual therapy) can reliably cure more than 90% of Helicobacter pylori infections. Theoretically, the use of a PPI dose that provides equivalent acid suppression with fast metabolizers and slow metabolizers would achieve high cure rates irrespective of the CYP2C19 genotype.

aimTo evaluate high-dose PPI plus amoxicillin dual therapy for H. pylori eradication.

methodsH. pylori-infected individuals (positive by 2 tests) received esomeprazole 40 mg plus amoxicillin 750 mg every 8 h for 14 days. The protocol was planned based on the "efficient identification strategy" requiring more than 90% success, with stop criteria of 6 or more failures within 50 patients or a cure rate of less than 80%.

resultsThirty-six patients (5 women, 31 men), average age 58 years, were enrolled before achieving stop criteria. All were first H. pylori treatments. The intention-to-treat cure was achieved in 26/36 [72.2%; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 56-84%] and in 26/35 per protocol (74.2%; 95% CI = 56-87%). There were no significant side effects. Compliance was 85% or greater in all (100% in 91.6%).

conclusionsIf the hypothesis that consistently high intragastric pH is required to reliably achieve more than 90% H. pylori eradication, our regimen was not sufficient. Success may require more than every 8 h dosing, the concomitant administration of sodium bicarbonate, or the use of a long-acting PPI. However, the result was positive in that dual therapy with the doses tested here was at least as successful as empiric triple therapy.
