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

backgroundHelicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for gastric cancer, and it has been reported that eradication of H. pylori is effective for preventing such cancer. Recently, H. pylori eradication has been performed in children as first-line therapy against gastric cancer. Here, we report use of triple therapy with a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) for H. pylori eradication in children.

methodsH. pylori infection testing and eradication therapy began in fiscal year 2015 in junior high school students located in Yurihonjo city and Nikaho city, Akita prefecture, Japan. Urine-based immunochromatography, stool antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests, and serum antibody tests were performed as the initial screening examination. Those who tested positive on one of the three examinations then underwent a urea breath test (

resultsA total of 118 students received eradication therapy. Eradication rates were 81.3% (95% confidence interval: 74.3-88.4, 96/118) in ITT analysis and 85.7% (95% confidence interval: 79.1-92.9 96/112) in PP analysis. Adverse effects associated with eradication therapy were observed in 25 of 118 subjects (21.1%), seven of whom required hospital treatment (rash in five, vomiting in two). All seven subjects either discontinued therapy or were administered anti-allergy drugs, which resulted in swift alleviation of symptoms.

conclusionsFirst-line triple therapy with a P-CAB for H. pylori eradication in children was found to be safe.
