Role of Glucose Breath Test for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Children and Adolescents With Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders in Korea.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimsSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is expected in children and adolescents with functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs). This study is conducted to estimate the prevalence of SIBO and to investigate the role of SIBO in children and adolescents with FAPDs.
methodsThis prospective study enrolled children with FAPDs fulfilling the Rome IV criteria. A hydrogen-methane glucose breath test was used to diagnose SIBO. A survey of bowel symptoms using questionnaires, birth history, types of feeding, and the presence of allergy was conducted.
resultsSixty-eight children and adolescents (range, 6-17 years; median, 12.5 years) were enrolled. SIBO was detected in 14 patients (20.6%). Age (≥ 12 years) (
conclusionsSIBO is not uncommon in children and adolescents with FAPDs. Among children aged above 12 years and diagnosed with FAPDs, SIBO is a suspected clinical target for treatment to relieve intestinal symptoms. A further study to investigate the association between intestinal bacteria and history of allergy is needed.
