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
introductionX842 is a new type of gastric acid-suppressing agent with a rapid onset of action and a long duration of effect. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of different doses of X842 vs lansoprazole in the treatment of patients with erosive esophagitis (EE).
methodsThis phase 2 study included 90 patients with EE (Los Angeles grades A-D) who were randomized (1:1:1) to receive oral low-dose X842 (50 mg/d, n = 31), high-dose X842 (100 mg/d, n = 31), or lansoprazole (30 mg/d, n = 30) for 4 weeks. The main efficacy end point was the EE healing rate, which was the proportion of patients who achieved endoscopic healing after 4 weeks of treatment.
resultsFor intention-to-treat analysis, the EE healing rates at 4 weeks were 93.6% (29/31), 79.3% (23/29), and 80.0% (24/30) for the X842 50 mg, the X842 100 mg, and the lansoprazole 30 mg groups. For per-protocol analysis, the EE healing rates at 4 weeks were 93.6% (29/31), 80.8% (21/26), and 82.1% (23/28) in the 3 groups, respectively. The EE healing rate did not significantly differ among the 3 groups in either the intention-to-treat ( P = 0.2351) or per-protocol ( P = 0.3320) analysis. The incidence of drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events did not differ among groups. No severe drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in the X842 group. DISCUSSION: Our findings confirmed that X842 had efficacy and a favorable safety profile similar to those of lansoprazole. Therefore, X842, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, is expected to become a promising therapeutic agent for EE.
