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

introductionHelicobacter pylori (HP) infection is prevalent worldwide and contributes to various gastrointestinal diseases. Eradication therapy is crucial in managing HP infection, but antibiotic resistance has led to refractory cases, complicating treatment outcomes and increasing the risk of adverse events. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach, termed HP Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Clinic, in improving eradication rates and safety in patients with refractory HP infection.

methodsBetween November 2020 and November 2023, 153 patients with refractory HP infection were included, with 51 patients in the non-HP-MDT group and 102 patients in the HP-MDT group. The HP-MDT clinic provided personalized treatment plans, patient education, and follow-up. Genetic testing was conducted in selected cases to assess resistance patterns.

resultsPatients attending the HP-MDT clinic showed significantly higher eradication rates compared with those in the non-HP-MDT group (80.39% vs 50.98%, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that HP-MDT clinic attendance was independently associated with higher eradication rates (odds ratio: 4.43, 95% CI: 2.02 to 9.71, P < 0.001). Genetic testing revealed high rates of antibiotic resistance, particularly to clarithromycin (10/11, 90.91%) and metronidazole (11/11, 100%). Despite resistance, the HP-MDT approach achieved a high eradication rate of 92.31%. Adverse drug reactions occurred in 12.75% of patients in the HP-MDT group, predominantly mild gastrointestinal symptoms. DISCUSSION: The HP-MDT clinic, integrating medical, pharmaceutical, and nursing expertise, significantly improved eradication rates and safety in patients with refractory HP infection. Personalized treatment plans, patient education, and genetic testing contributed to successful outcomes with minimal adverse events.
