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

Approximately 36% of the United States (US) population is infected with Helicobacter pylori (HP), a known major risk factor for peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. HP eradication reduces the rate of complications; however, the benefits are undermined by rising rates of HP eradication treatment failure. This real-world observational cohort analysis aims to describe HP diagnostic and treatment patterns among insured patients in the US. Using diagnoses, lab results, and treatment patterns, we identified adults (18+) with new diagnoses of HP in the Veradigm Health Insights EHR Database linked to Komodo claims data (1/1/2016-12/31/2019). Patients were required to have ≥ 12 months of data pre-/post-index. We captured patient characteristics, HP-related diagnostic testing, and the use of US guideline-recommended HP eradication regimens. HP eradication rates following first-line eradication treatment were measured among patients with available lab results. Overall, 31.8% of the 60,593 included patients did not receive guideline-recommended treatment. Among the 68.2% (41,340) with first-line treatment, 80.2% received clarithromycin-based triple therapy, and 6.6% received bismuth quadruple therapy. Of the 4569 patients with a repeated course of eradication therapy, 53.4% received the same regimen as their first-line, the majority (90.7%) of whom received two rounds of clarithromycin-based triple therapy. Among the 2455 patients with results of HP non-serology testing following first-line treatment, the 180-day eradication rate was 80.2% overall, with differences based on treatments and demographics. This study highlights gaps between guideline-recommended HP management and real-world patterns, underscoring the need to improve HP testing, treatment, and follow-up practices.
