1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

AIMS AND

methodsOur aim was to assess, in obese patients undergoing Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery, the quadruple concomitant HP eradication rates at first line treatment as proposed by the Maastricht IV consensus in areas of high clarithromycin resistance rates-proton pump inhibitor bid, clarithromycin 500 mg bid, amoxicillin 1000 mg bid, and metronidazole 500 mg bid. This is a single center prospective study over a 3-year period. Endoscopy and HP assessment (by histology or C13 urea breath) were performed at baseline, and post treatment HP status was assessed by C13 urea breath test 4-6 weeks after the end of therapy.

resultsThe study cohort consisted of 600 adult obese HP positive patients [19 % male/81 % female, age 40.7 (±10.4) years] consecutively scheduled for HP concomitant therapy. HP was eradicated in 416 patients [69.3 % (95% CI 65.5-72.9 %)] and the eradication was independent of gender, age, endoscopic diagnosis, and smoking status (p > 0.05).

conclusionsTwo weeks quadruple concomitant therapy did not achieve Maastricht recommended first line acceptable HP eradication rates (at least 80 %) in obese Portuguese patients undergoing GB.
