What do we know about benefits of H. pylori treatment in childhood?
Synthesis in Gut microbes. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Policy analysis shows that H. pylori test and treat strategies targeting adults at moderate to high risk of H. pylori-induced disease is likely to be cost-effective for preventing digestive diseases responsible for a large global disease burden. Little is known, however, about health benefits to children from eliminating this infection. We conducted a systematic review of the evidence regarding health benefits to children from treatment to eliminate H. pylori infection. We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE for pertinent review articles published through 2012. We excluded reviews focused on treatment efficacy and scrutinized reference lists of selected reviews to identify additional eligible reviews. Fifteen reviews met specified inclusion criteria. Overall, they show that few reported studies investigating pediatric health effects of treatment for H. pylori infection were well designed with adequate statistical power. Thus, there is insufficient evidence for drawing conclusions about health benefits to children from treatment to eliminate H. pylori infection.
