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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the eradication rate of a triple therapy regimen that included a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and tetracycline instead of clarithromycin in treatment-Naïve patients and in patients who did not respond to standard triple therapy.

methodsThis study included 110 patients infected with Helicobacter pylori. Patients in groups A and B were treatment-Naïve, and those in group C were not responsive to previous standard triple therapy. Patients in group A (n=40) received lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1,000 mg b.i.d., and clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. for 14 days. Patients in groups B (n=40) and C (n=30) received lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1,000 mg b.i.d., and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d. for 14 days.

resultsIn group A, eradication was achieved in 18 (45%) of the 40 patients included in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and in 18 (47.4%) of the 38 patients included in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. In group B, eradication was achieved in 15 (37.5%) of the 40 patients included in the ITT analysis and in 15 (39.3%) of the 38 patients included in the PP analysis. In group C, eradication was achieved in 14 (46.6%) of the 30 patients included in the ITT analysis and in 14 (43.8%) of the 29 patients included in the PP analysis. There was no statistically significant difference among the 3 groups with regard to eradication rates (p>0.05).

conclusionsDespite the low rate of resistance to tetracycline, the combination of lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and tetracycline instead of clarithromycin is not a good option for the eradication of H. pylori.
