Concurrence of Helicobacter pylori Infection and Its Associated Factors in Korean Couples.
Article in Korean journal of family medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study evaluated the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and the risk factors associated with H. pylori transmission among spouses.
methodsWe assessed the spousal concurrence of H. pylori infection using the Campylobacter-like organism (CLO) test under gastro-endoscopy in 132 couples. Based on the CLO test results, participants were categorized into H. pylori concurrent and independent groups. The chi-square test and Student t-test were performed for demographic comparisons between the concurrent and independent H. pylori groups. In addition, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with concurrent H. pylori infection.
resultsThe study revealed that the concurrence rate of H. pylori infection was 42.4% in married Korean couples. The odds ratio (OR) derived from the concurrence of H. pylori infection tended to decrease in older couples (OR, 0.975; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.949-1.002; P=0.072). Gastric erosion was also associated with a decreased OR for concurrent infection (OR, 0.488; 95% CI, 0.295-0.808; P=0.005). Conversely, active duodenal ulcers were associated with an increased OR for concurrent infections (OR, 6.501; 95% CI, 1.267-33.346; P=0.025). Duodenal ulcer scars tended to increase the OR of concurrent infections (OR, 1.392; 95% CI, 0.815-2.380; P=0.226).
conclusionSpousal transmission and concurrence of H. pylori infection were negatively associated with gastric erosion; however, they were positively associated with active duodenal ulcers. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these findings.
