The evaluation of the effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on choroidal thickness.
Article in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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/
aimsTo evaluate the effects of Helicobacter pylori infection on choroidal thickness (CT) using enhanced depth imaging spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 63 right eyes of 63 patients who tested positive for H. pylori (Group 1) and 46 right eyes of 46 patients who tested negative for H. pylori (Group 2) were evaluated. The CTs at the subfoveal area and at 1 mm ranging up to 3 mm from the fovea at the nasal and temporal quadrants were measured and compared. After the eradication of H. pylori, the CT values were also compared with the pre-eradication values in 38 patients.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 43.6}9.5 years in Group 1 and 46.6}11.5 years in Group 2 (p=0.13). Differences in CT values between Groups 1 and 2 before and after H. pylori eradication were not statistically significant (p>0.05 for all values).
conclusionThe CT values of H. pylori positive and H. pylori negative patients were similar. Eradication of H. pylori infection appears to have produced no change in short-term CT.
