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

Infection with Helicobacter pylori (HP) is common in many parts of the world. While most patients are asymptomatic, it causes peptic ulcer disease and malignancy in some of them. Other rare conditions have occasionally been reported in association with this infection. We report a case of hypertrophic gastropathy caused by HP in a 52-year-old asymptomatic patient. He was found to have marked enlargement of the gastric mucosal folds on radiological imaging and endoscopy. A gastric mucosal biopsy showed HP colonization associated with neutrophilic inflammation. After exclusion of neoplasia, other infections and infiltrative disorders, HP was thought to be the cause of the gastric fold hypertrophy. The patient responded well to HP eradication therapy, with normalization of the gastric mucosal folds. HP infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypertrophic gastropathy and treated accordingly.
