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
objectivesConventional nodular gastritis has been known to be caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Several cases of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with non-H. pylori Helicobacters (NHPH) exhibit endoscopic findings resembling nodular gastritis. Considering the differences in malignancy, distinguishing between these two conditions is crucial. This study aimed to identify the distinguishing endoscopic features of NHPH-induced gastric MALT lymphoma with nodular gastritis-like appearance (NHPHi-MNG) and H.-induced conventional nodular gastritis (HPi-NG).
methodsBetween 2011 and 2022, we analyzed 17 patients with NHPHi-MNG and 50 patients with HPi-NG at Hiroshima University Hospital and evaluated nodule morphology and distribution patterns.
resultsCompared with the HPi-NG group, the NHPHi-MNG group exhibited significantly larger nodules (2.5 vs. 2.0 mm, P < 0.05) with protruded morphology (protruded/superficial, elevated: 14/3 vs. 8/42, P < 0.05), most prominently in the gastric angulus. The variability in nodule size was significantly higher in the NHPHi-MNG group than in the HPi-NG group (0.85 vs. 0.37 mm, P < 0.05), reflecting nodule heterogeneity. The distance from the gastric angulus to the proximal end of the nodular lesions was significantly greater in the NHPHi-MNG group than in the HPi-NG group (4.4 vs. 1.7 cm, P < 0.05). The nodules in the HPi-NG group were smaller, superficial, elevated, and most prominent in the gastric antrum compared with those in the NHPHi-MNG group. They were predominantly distributed in the gastric antrum with a homogeneous morphology.
conclusionNHPHi-MNG and HPi-NG can be endoscopically differentiated according to nodule morphology and distribution. Recognizing these distinguishing features is essential for an accurate diagnosis.
