Antral gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection in the pediatric age group is associated with increased mesenteric lymph node dimension observed by ultrasonography.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTo find out if transabdominal ultrasonography (US) may have a predictive role for detection of antral gastritis and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in the antrum of pediatric age group.
methodsA total of 91 (63.6%) patients and 52 (36.4%) controls were allocated into two groups as follows: Group 1 (n=91): patients with complaints and endoscopic findings consistent with gastritis and documented HP infection; Group 2 (n=52): patients with complaints and endoscopic findings consistent with gastritis in the absence of documented HP infection. These two groups were compared in terms of demographics and biggest mesenteric lymph node detected, muscularis mucosa thickness, submucosal thickness, muscularis propria thickness, and total gastric wall thickness.
resultsThe two groups exhibited no statistically significant difference with respect to age (P=0.747), and presenting symptoms (P=0.982). However, the mesenteric lymph node dimension was significantly increased in Group 1 (P=0.039). Median mesenteric lymph node dimension was 12.9 (±15.4) mm in Group 1, while 11.0 (±12.8) mm in Group 2. No significant difference was observed between groups in terms of muscularis mucosa thickness (P=0.243), submucosal thickness (P=0.174), muscularis propria thickness (P=0.356), and total gastric wall thickness (P=0.223).
conclusionsAntral gastritis caused by HP infection in the pediatric age group is associated with increased mesenteric lymph node dimension observed by US.
