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

Naproxen/esomeprazole is a fixed-dose combination of the NSAID naproxen and the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole. In two well designed, 12-week studies, naproxen/esomeprazole fixed-dose combination was noninferior to celecoxib in treating the signs and symptoms of disease in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, as assessed by the mean change from baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain and function scores and Patient Global Assessment scores (coprimary endpoints). Two other studies showed that the cumulative incidence of gastric ulcers (primary efficacy measure) was significantly lower with naproxen/esomeprazole than with enteric-coated naproxen alone during up to 6 months' therapy in patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis or any other condition requiring daily NSAID therapy. The fixed-dose combination was generally well tolerated in these studies, with an upper gastrointestinal tolerability profile generally better than that of naproxen and similar to that of celecoxib.
