Ciprofloxacin-containing versus clarithromycin-containing sequential therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication: A randomized trial.
Trial report in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND AND STUDY
aimsHelicobacter pylori eradication rates with standard triple therapy have declined to unacceptable levels. This randomized trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a ciprofloxacin containing sequential regimen in the eradication of H. pylori-infected patients vs. a clarithromycin containing sequential therapy.
methodsA total of 212 patients were randomized into 14-day therapeutic schemes (106 patients per group): (1) clarithromycin-containing sequential therapy rabeprazole plus amoxicillin for 7 days, followed by rabeprazole plus clarithromycin plus metronidazole for 7 days, and (2) ciprofloxacin-containing sequential therapy using ciprofloxacin instead of clarithromycin. Eradication was confirmed by stool H. pylori antigen. Adverse effects and compliance were assessed by a questionnaire.
resultsPer protocol cure rates were as follows: 87.6 % in the ciprofloxacin-containing sequential therapy and 76 % in the clarithromycin group. Intention-to-treat cure rates were as follows: 73.5 % for the ciprofloxacin group and 66 % for the clarithromycin group. No differences in compliance or adverse effects were demonstrated among treatments.
conclusionCiprofloxacin-containing sequential therapy is more effective and equally safe compared to a clarithromycin-containing sequential therapy.
