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

backgroundTo better understand the efficacy and safety of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablets in the treatment of helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected peptic ulcer or gastritis patients.

methodsA systematic review of the studies published to June 2022 was performed in English database PubMed, Embase, Chinese database CNKI, Wanfang. There were 17 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The outcomes measured included H. pylori eradication rate, changes in clinical symptoms of epigastric pain scores, and the incidence of adverse reactions.

resultsThe results of the fixed effect model showed that the eradication rate of H. pylori in the combination of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable bacteria tablets combined with bismuth-containing conventional quadruple therapy was greater than that of bismuth-containing conventional quadruple therapy, and the difference was statistically significant (OR = 3.73, 95%CI (2.79,5.00), Z = 2.78, P < 0.001; I

conclusionsThe eradication rate of H. pylori by Bifidobacterium quadruple viable bacteria tablets combined with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy is better than that of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. The improvement of clinical symptoms of patients is better than that of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy, and the incidence of adverse reactions is lower than that of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. Bifidobacterium quadruple viable bacteria tablet combined with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy was effective and safe. It provides a new way to treat patients with H. pylori.
