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

Objective: Antibiotic resistance has significantly impact on eradication rates for H. pylori infection and remains important cause of treatment failure worldwide including ASEAN countries. The aim of this study was to survey the prevalence and antibiotic resistant pattern of H. pylori infection in ASEAN. Methods: This study was a survey among 26 experts from 9 ASEAN countries including Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam whom attended a meeting to develop the ASEAN consensus on H. pylori management in Bangkok in November 2015. A questionnaire was sent to each member of the consensus meeting. The detail of the questionnaire included information about prevalence of H. pylori infection, facilities to perform H. pylori culture, molecular testing for antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance rate in their countries. Results: H. pylori infection remain common in ASEAN ranging from 20% in Malaysia, 21-54% in Thailand and 69% in Myanmar. Most of ASEAN countries can perform H. pylori cultures and antibiotic susceptibility tests except Laos and Cambodia. In ASEAN countries, metronidazole resistant H pylori is quite common whereas amoxicillin resistance remain rare. Clarithromycin resistance results in a significant decrease in H. pylori eradication rate with clarithromycin-containing regimens. The prevalence of clarithromycin resistance varies in ASEAN countries being high in Vietnam (30%) and Cambodia (43%), moderate to high in Singapore (17%) and low in Malaysia (6.8%), Philippine (2%) and Myanmar (0%). In Thailand, clarithromycin resistance tends to higher in large cities (14%) than in rural areas (~3.7%). Conclusion: ASEAN countries should develop a standard protocol for regular susceptibility testing of H. pylori so that clinicians would be better able to choose reliably effective empiric therapies. The wide range of antibiotic resistance in ASEAN countries suggests that the preferred first line regimen should be depend on the local antibiotic resistance other than single recommendation.
