Global prevalence of gastric intestinal metaplasia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Systematic reviews, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundGastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a precancerous lesion that increases the risk of gastric cancer. Several preliminary studies have examined the prevalence of GIM. The present systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted aimed estimating the global prevalence of GIM.
methodsThe present systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted based on the PRISMA reporting guidelines in the range of 1988-2022. Articles related to the purpose of the study were obtained from Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), MagIran, SID databases, and Google Scholar search engine using relevant and validated keywords in MeSH/Emtree. Inclusion criteria were observational articles, access to the full text of the article, and articles that reported prevalence. Heterogeneity among studies was examined using the I
resultsIn the initial search, 4946 studies were found, of which 20 articles with a sample size of 57,263 met all the criteria for inclusion in the study. The global prevalence of GIM was 17.5% (95% confidence interval: 14.6-20.8%). The highest percentage of prevalence of GIM belonged to American continent with 18.6% (95% confidence interval: 13.8-24.6%) and patients with gastroesophageal reflux with 22.9% (95% confidence interval: 9.9-44.6%).
conclusionThe results of this study showed that the prevalence of GIM in the world is high and needs further investigation. Therefore, it is recommended to be given more attention by experts, officials, and health policymakers.
