Evaluation of noninvasive tests for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in hemodialysis patients.
Article in Journal of nephropathology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 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
backgroundHemodialysis is the most common method of renal replacement therapy for treatment of acute and chronic kidney failure. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) plays a major role in development of peptic ulcer, gastric neoplasms, and lymphoma as well as increased risk of cardiovascular disorders in hemodialysis patients.
objectivesIn this study the diagnostic values of noninvasive tests [i.e. urea breath test (UBT), helicobacter pylori stool antigen test (HPSA) and serology] in diagnosis of H. pylori infection in hemodialysis patients have been studied. PATIENTS AND
methodsAll patients undergoing hemodialysis in Fatemieh Hospital, Semnan, Iran, were enrolled in the study, and their H. pylori status were assessed by using non-invasive tests including UBT, HPSA and serology. Patients with at least two out of 3 positive tests were considered infected with H. pylori.
resultsThe sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the tests used in diagnosing H. pylori infection were 62.5%, 65.4%, 62.5% and 65.4% for UBT, 100%, 72.2%, 58.3% and 100% for serology, and 100%, 75%, 60.9% and 100% for fecal antigen test, respectively.
conclusionsThis study showed that H. pylori serology and stool antigen tests have higher diagnostic values than UBT, and they are more reliable than UBT in diagnosis of H. pylori infection in hemodialysis patients.
