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

backgroundHybrid therapy is a promising first-line regimen for

methodsThis was a prospective study that included 155 treatment-naïve patients diagnosed with

resultsThe eradication rates were 85.8% (133/155; 95% confidence interval [CI] 79.4-90.5%) by intention-to-treat and 90.2% (129/143; 95%CI 84.1-94.2%) by per-protocol analysis in a setting of high antibiotic resistance (clarithromycin 25.9%, metronidazole 31.1%, dual resistance 8.9%). Adverse events occurred in 29.7% and 1.3% discontinued treatment because of adverse events. Adherence >90% was achieved in 96.6%. The eradication rate in patients with dual clarithromycin/metronidazole resistance (50%) was markedly lower compared to those with single clarithromycin resistance (91.4%), single metronidazole resistance (90.5%) or dual susceptibility (97.8%). Dual resistance was the only factor to correlate with the failure of hybrid therapy (odds ratio 14.4, 95%CI 3.8-54.9, P=0.0003).

conclusionsHybrid therapy is an effective and safe first-line regimen in populations with relatively high rates of antibiotic resistance. However, dual clarithromycin/metronidazole resistance may significantly compromise its efficacy.
