Stool antigen tests for the management of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Stool antigen tests (SATs) are noninvasive diagnostic modules for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Two types of SATs exist for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, one based on enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and another on immunochromatography (ICA). SATs do not require expensive chemical agents or specified equipment; hence, they are less expensive compared with the urea breath test. Both European and Japanese guidelines have shown that EIA-based SATs using monoclonal antibodies are useful for primary diagnosis as well as for the assessment of eradication therapy. ICA-based tests do not require particular equipment and are therefore useful in developing countries. SATs are also useful for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection in children and post gastric surgery patients. SATs performed via EIA can assess H. pylori infection in a large number of subjects, almost as well as serology. Thus, SATs would be useful or detecting current infection in such a survey to identify and eradicate H. pylori infection. The accuracy of SATs is lower when the stool samples are unformed or watery, because H. pylori-specific antigens in the stool samples are diluted. Temperature and the interval between stool sample collection and measurement also affect the results of SATs. The choice of test kit depends on the sensitivity and specificity in each region and the circumstances of each patient.
