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

rationaleHelicobacter pylori infection causes atrophic gastritis in childhood, but atrophic gastritis due to H pylori infection is extremely rare in infancy. The relationship between H pylori infection and chronic diarrhea without protein leakage remains controversial. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 8-month-old male infant presented to our hospital with severe watery diarrhea, erythema, and failure to thrive from approximately 1 month after birth. Blood, stool, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, total colonoscopy, and H pylori urease analysis results were positive, thereby suggesting atrophic gastritis. DIAGNOSES: Atrophic gastritis and chronic diarrhea due to H pylori infection.

interventionsWe performed H pylori eradication therapy using triple therapy with vonoprazan (6 mg/kg), amoxicillin (300 mg/d), and clarithromycin (120 mg/kg) for 7 days. OUTCOMES: From approximately 1 week after the H pylori eradication therapy, the frequency of defecation had decreased, stool shape had improved, and body weight had gradually increased. LESSONS: H pylori infection can cause atrophic gastritis and chronic diarrhea even in infancy. Early eradication therapy for H pylori infection may be useful for prevention of gastric cancer and improvement in growth disorders.
