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

Objective The impact of Helicobacter pylori infection on gastric endoscopic findings in non-eosinophilic esophagitis eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (non-EoE EGIDs) remains unclear. This study investigated the influence of H. pylori infection on the prevalence and distribution of gastric lesions. Methods The details of 75 patients diagnosed with non-EoE EGIDs were retrospectively reviewed. Of the 56 patients with a definitive diagnosis according to the Japanese criteria (any GI tract; ≥20 eosinophils/high-power field), 25 patients with pathologic gastric eosinophilic infiltration (EI) (gastric EI; ≥30 eosinophils/high power field) were investigated in detail. The prevalence and distribution of gastric endoscopy findings were assessed according to the gastric mucosal atrophy status, an indicator of H. pylori infection. Results Erythema (76%) was the most common finding in the gastric EI-positive group, followed by erosions (36%), ulcers (28%), ulcer scars (28%), and edema (24%). None of these lesions differed significantly in frequency between the patients with and without gastric atrophy. When erosions, ulcers, and ulcer scars were unified, they were slightly more common in the gastric bodies of patients with gastric atrophy than those without gastric atrophy; however, no preferential site was found in those without gastric atrophy. We identified six patients with active gastric ulcers, and half had large, deep ulcers with marginal swelling/irregularity. Conclusion Gastric endoscopy findings in non-EoE EGIDs with gastric EI were evenly observed in the stomach, with no specific trend in frequency or distribution depending on atrophic gastritis, an indicator of H. pylori infection. Gastric ulcers in patients with non-EoE EGIDs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic peptic ulcers.
