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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the nine most widely studied Vonoprazan (VPZ)-based treatment regimens along with traditional Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based treatment regimens in eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.

designThrough searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, we exclusively included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the efficacy of VPZ-based and PPI-based therapies for H. pylori infection. The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality using the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool, and the data analysis software was used to analyze the data accordingly.

resultsThe RCTs were collected from the earliest available date up to August 2023. Twenty-one RCTs were included, with a total sample size of 5481. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the eradication rate of the VPZ-based quadruple 14-day (VPZ-Q14) treatment regimen in Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was the highest (SUCRA: 0.874); The eradication rate of the VPZ-based quadruple 10-day (VPZ-Q10) treatment plan in Per-protocol (PP) analysis was the highest (SUCRA: 0.849). All regimens were well tolerated without significant differences. According to the probability ranking of safety, high-dose VPZ-based dual 14-day therapy (H-VPZ-D14) ranked first in SUCRA, reaching 0.952. This indicates that H-VPZ-D14 treatment is the safest with a relatively low incidence of adverse effect. Therefore, VPZ-based therapies not only have a higher eradication rate, but also possess satisfactory safety.

conclusionCompared with traditional PPI-based therapies, VPZ-based therapies have shown superior eradication effects. Based on the Ranking Plot of the Network, the VPZ-Q14 or VPZ-Q10 treatment regimen for H. pylori has a higher eradication rate and acceptable differences compared to other treatment regimens. In addition, for regions with high antibiotic resistance rates, we recommend a 14-day quadruple therapy with bismuth based on VPZ.
