High Prevalence of Gastric Preneoplastic Lesions in East Asians and Hispanics in the USA.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 5 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
backgroundThe prevalence of H. pylori infection and the incidence of gastric cancer differ widely around the world, but it is unclear whether these differences are mirrored in the multiethnic population of the USA.
aimsThis study tested the hypothesis that the prevalence of both H. pylori infection and gastric preneoplastic lesions in US residents of Hispanic and Asian ancestry reflects the incidence of gastric cancer in their ancestral countries.
methodsA total of 799,075 subjects with gastric biopsies extracted from a national pathology database were stratified into the following ancestries: Indian, Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese Korean, and other Americans (Caucasian and African-American US residents). The prevalence of H. pylori, intestinal metaplasia, and atrophic gastritis was compared among different ethnic groups using age- and sex-adjusted odds ratios and linear regression.
resultsPatients of Indian, Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ancestry had significantly higher prevalence rates of H. pylori gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and atrophy than other Americans. The prevalence of intestinal metaplasia and atrophy among different ethnic groups did not correlate with H. pylori prevalence, but did correlate highly significantly with gastric cancer incidence in the patients' ancestral countries.
conclusionsVarious US ethnic groups have significantly different prevalence rates of H. pylori gastritis and gastric preneoplastic lesions. Patients' ethnicity needs be considered in the prevention and early detection of gastric cancer.
