Clinical and Socio- Demographic Risk Factors for Acquisition of Helicobacter pylori Infection in Nigeria
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: The aim of the study was to assess clinical and socio-demographic characteristics as well as prior drug usage as risk factors for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Nigeria. Methods: A total of 347 respondents were surveyed by assessing their clinical and socio-demographic characteristics in comparison with the non-invasive gold standard for H. pylori diagnosis, the urea breath test (UBT). Chi-square test and odds ratio analyses were conducted in order to assess if variables such as socio-demographic factors, drug intake, and history of ulcer/gastritis/ gastric cancer within the family significantly predicted test results. Results: A total of 130 (37.5%) respondents were positive for H. pylori by the UBT. Living with more than three people in an apartment and a history of ulcer/gastritis within the family were significantly associated with H. pylori (p ≤0.05), as well as current antibiotic intake (p ≤0.05). Nationality, stay outside Nigeria, level of education, main occupation, smoking and drinking habits, sources of drinking water, number of children and history of gastric cancer had no significant association with H. pylori infection (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the questionnaire revealed that most socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents had no significant association with H. pylori. Overcrowding, having siblings/parents with history of ulcer/gastritis as well as prior antibiotic usage had a significant association.
