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

background

methodsPatients undergoing an EGD were recruited. A rapid urease test (RUT) was performed, and 4 gastric biopsies were also taken (2 from antrum, 2 from corpus) and analyzed using RT-PCR. Positive samples were tested for antibiotic resistance using amplification and reverse hybridization techniques.

resultsTwo hundred patients (mean age 53.6 [range 20-92] years; 53.1% female) were recruited; the majority were (78%) non-smokers.
