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
introductionAlthough Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, is superior to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in treating Helicobacter pylori and erosive esophagitis, its efficacy for treating gastric and/or duodenal ulcers remains controversial. This meta-analysis summarizes the efficacy and safety of Vonoprazan vs. PPI for treating and preventing gastric and/or duodenal ulcers.
methodsOnly randomized controlled trials randomizing gastric and/or duodenal ulcer patients, regardless of etiology, into Vonoprazan or any PPI and indexed in Embase, Medline, and CENTRAL until March 2, 2024 were searched. Primary outcomes were ulcer healing rates at Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 and recurrence rates at Week 24. Other outcomes included shrinkage rates, any adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), and risks of delayed bleeding and perforation. The overall risk ratio (RR) and mean difference were pooled using the random-effects model. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) Tool.
resultsFifteen studies comprising 43 reports were included in the analysis. Healing rates of gastric and/or duodenal ulcers were similar in both Vonoprazan and PPI groups at all weeks (Week 2 RR 1.02 [95% CI 0.89-1.16]; Week 4 0.99 [95% CI 0.95-1.04]; Week 6 1.00 [95% CI 0.96-1.03]; Week 8 0.99 [95% CI 0.95-1.03]). The recurrence prevention of peptic ulcers was not different in Vonoprazan 10 mg (RR 0.48; 95% CI 0.18-1.27) or 20 mg (0.60; 95% CI 0.28-1.30) to PPI. Shrinkage rates, any AEs, SAEs, and risks of delayed bleeding and perforation were similar in both groups.
conclusionVonoprazan is not significantly better than PPI in treating and preventing gastric and/or duodenal ulcers.
