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

purposeProton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed for gastrointestinal disorders. Lansoprazole, a PPI, has been recognized for its potential effects of improving insulin resistance, reduction of oxidative stress, and improvement in atherosclerosis through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) induction. This study aims to investigate whether lansoprazole poses a distinct risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) compared to other PPIs.

methodsA retrospective cohort study utilized data from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan spanning from 2000 to 2013. The exposed cohort included 1666 patients with lansoprazole use, while the comparison cohort comprised 6664 patients using other PPIs. The primary outcome was incident CHD. Cox regression models were employed to assess the association between lansoprazole use and CHD risk, presenting hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsPatients prescribed lansoprazole demonstrated a significantly reduced risk of CHD compared to those undergoing other PPI treatments in individuals without a history of CHD. Lansoprazole users exhibited a 25% lower risk of developing CHD compared to other PPI users (adjusted HR 0.75; 95% CI 0.65-0.87). Intriguingly, this inverse association between lansoprazole use and CHD risk was consistent across genders and various age groups.

conclusionThis study suggests that lansoprazole is associated with a decreased risk of CHD in comparison to other PPIs in patients without a history of CHD. Further research is warranted to elucidate the clinical implications of these findings.
