Deprescribing Strategies: A Prospective Study on Proton Pump Inhibitors.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most controversially prescribed drugs in polypharmacy. This observational prospective study assessed the PPI prescriptive trend during hospitalization before and after implementation of a prescribing/deprescribing algorithm in a real-life hospital setting and the related clinical-economic benefit at discharge. PPI prescriptive trends were compared between three quarters of 2019 (9 months) and the same period of 2018 by a chi-square test with a Yate's correction. The proportions of treated patients in the two years (1120 discharged patients in 2018 and 1107 in 2019) were compared by the Cochran-Armitage trend test. DDDs (defined daily doses) were compared between 2018 and 2019 by the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and normalizing DDD/DOT (days of therapy) and DDD/100 bd (bed days) for each patient. Multivariate logistic regression was performed on PPI prescriptions at discharge. The distribution of patients with PPIs at discharge was significantly different in the two years (
