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

objectiveTo assess the value of Current Infection Marker (CIM) test, Campylobacter-Like Organism (CLO) test, and the multiplex polymerase chain reaction test (PCR) for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in a Vietnamese population.

methodsTargeted suitable patients were recruited. CIM test, CLO test and multiplex PCR were used to diagnose for H. pylori infection. Patients were considered positive for H. pylori when at least two of the three tests were positive. The performance of each of the three tests was compared to the H. pylori positive populations as defined.

resultAmongst 201 patients with a mean age of 40.5 (range, 18-74) years, there were 115 females and 86 males. Of the 201 patients, 107 (53.2%) were diagnosed as H. pylori positive according to the defined criteria. The positive patients obtained with CLO test, CIM test and multiplex PCR were 38.3%, 59.2% and 72.1%, correspondingly. The full performance of the three tests as highlighted in order as above were 85.07%, 83.08% and 81.09%, respectively. The positive rate of CLO test was the lowest, with 38.3% positive, but this method was the most accurate, with the accuracy of 85.07%. This suggested that CLO test has the highest specificity among the three. The sensitivity, specificity, positive, negative predictive values and accuracy of the CLO / CIM / multiplex PCR tests were 71.96% / 89.72% / 100%, 100% / 75.53% / 59.57%, 100% / 80.67% / 73.79%, 75.81% / 86.59% / 100%, and 85.07% / 83.08% / 81.09%, respectively.

conclusionAll the three methods have high accuracy for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection in the Vietnamese population with gastritis and gastric ulcers. These tests can be employed in the clinical settings for the Vietnamese population. CLO test should be used in combination with the other tests to reduce false-negative results.
