Article in Clinical and translational gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03105375 (Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of X842 in Healthy Subjects), which is not on this map. Cited by 37 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The need for new acid suppressing agents with improved pharmacology and superior antisecretory effects to address unmet clinical needs in acid-related disorders has been evident for over a decade. Recent new antisecretory drugs (IR-omeprazole and MR-dexlansoprazole) only provide a small incremental advance in control of acid secretion over the delayed-release proton pump inhibitors. Vonoprazan (a new potassium-competitive acid blocker) displays more potent and extended 24 h acid suppression and preliminary Japanese trials translate this into meaningful clinical benefits in gastro-esophageal reflux disease and Helicobacter pylori eradication. We review the vonoprazan information to date and the indications, benefits, and concerns of more effective therapeutic control of acid secretion.
