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

purpose of the reviewAcid suppression with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) represents the standard of care in the treatment of acid-related diseases. However, despite their effectiveness, PPIs display some intrinsic limitations, which underlie the unmet clinical needs that have been identified over the past decades. The aims of this review are to summarize the current status and future development of the new class of antisecretory drugs (potassium-competitive acid blockers, P-CABs) that have recently been introduced into medical practice. RECENT

findingsOver the past decades, clinical needs unmet by the current acid suppressants have been recognized, especially in the management of patients with GERD, Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID-related peptic ulcer. The failure to address these needs is mainly due to their inability to achieve a consistent acid suppression in all patients and, particularly, to control nighttime acidity. It was then realized that an extended duration of acid suppression would exert additional benefits. The available data with P-CABs show that they are able to address these unmet clinical needs. Four different P-CABs (vonoprazan, tegoprazan, fexuprazan and keverprazan) are currently available. However, only two of them are approved outside Asia. Vonoprazan is available in North, Central and South America while tegoprazan is marketed only in Latin American countries. Two other compounds (namely linazapran glurate and zestaprazan) are presently under clinical development. While clinical trials on GERD have been performed with all P-CABs, only vonoprazan and tegoprazan have been investigated as components of Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens. The available data show that-in the above two clinical indications-P-CABs provide similar or better efficacy in comparison with PPIs. Their safety in the short-term overlaps that of PPIs, but data from long-term treatment are needed.
