Role of gastric acid secretion in the pathogenesis of Barrett's esophageal cancer in a Japanese population.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The acidity of the refluxate into the esophagus is an important factor not only for reflux esophagitis, but also for Barrett's esophagus and the development of Barrett's esophageal cancer. On the other hand, H. pylori infection is thought to prevent reflux esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus by causing atrophic gastritis, which in turn decreases gastric acid secretion. Moreover, the preservation of gastric acid secretion may be important for the development of gastroesophageal junction cancer, including Barrett's esophageal cancer, irrespective of the H. pylori infection status. An increase in gastric acid secretion in Japanese populations has been predicted based on a decreasing rate of H. pylori infection and the westernization of eating habits in Japan; this, in turn, may lead to an increase in the prevalence of Barrett's esophageal cancer in Japan in the future.
