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

This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and cost of minocycline, ornidazole, esomeprazole, and bismuth (MOEB) therapy versus classical therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, esomeprazole, and bismuth potassium citrate, ACEB) for Helicobacter pylori eradication. In a randomized trial of 390 patients, MOEB demonstrated superior eradication rates (93.2% per-protocol, 78.5% intention-to-treat) compared to ACEB (82.5% per-protocol, 72.8% intention-to-treat). Adverse events were significantly lower with MOEB (19.3% vs. 33.8%, p = 0.0019). MOEB was also more cost-effective, with a direct cost of 675.7 CNY versus 970.1 CNY for ACEB, yielding an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of -27.5 CNY per eradication rate. MOEB is a safe, effective, and cost-efficient first-line regimen for H. pylori eradication.
