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.

Abstract

backgroundHelicobacter pylori eradication therapy was approved in Japan for the first-line, standard treatment of H. pylori-positive gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Although several retrospective studies or small-scale single-center studies have been reported, a prospective, large-scale, nationwide, multicenter study has not been reported from Japan. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a prospective, nationwide, multicenter study to evaluate the clinical efficacy of rabeprazole-based triple H. pylori eradication therapy for patients with localized gastric MALT lymphoma in practice-based clinical trial. A total of 108 H. pylori-positive patients with stage I/II

resultsCR of lymphoma was achieved in 84 of 97 patients (86.6%), during the period 2.0-44.7 months (median, 5.3 months) after starting H. pylori eradication treatment. CR was maintained in 77 of 81 patients (95.1%) for 0.4-53.2 months (median, 33.1 months). Secondary treatments (radiotherapy, rituximab, or gastrectomy) for gastric MALT lymphoma were needed in 10 of the 97 patients (10.31%). During follow-up, OS rate was 96.9% (94/97) and the causes of 3 deaths were not related to lymphoma.

conclusionsRabeprazole-based H. pylori eradication therapy demonstrated a high CR rate, long CR maintenance, and a good OS for patients with localized gastric MALT lymphoma in this prospective, practice-based, multicenter study.
