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.

methodsThe study was cross-sectional in design. Questionnaires were administered in dyspeptic patients to obtain the relevant data. Two sets of gastric biopsy specimens were taken during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. One set was sent to the histopathology laboratory for assessment and

resultsThe sensitivity of

conclusionThis study showed a high amoxicillin resistance; however, there is high sensitivity (100%) to clarithromycin and levofloxacin. We recommended that levofloxacin be adopted in preference to amoxicillin as part of triple therapy in Nigeria.
