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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the role of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication in patients with hepatogenic ulcer (HU).

methodsPatients with HU, patients with liver cirrhosis without peptic ulcer and patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) were selected and the relationship between complications of liver cirrhosis and Hp infection in HU patients was evaluated retrospectively. Furthermore, 60 HU patients with Hp infection were randomly divided into the treatment group with rabeprazole plus amoxicillin and levofloxacin, and the control group with rabeprazole alone and the therapeutic effects then were recorded. This trial was registered at the China Clinical Research Registration Center (Trial registration number: ChiCTR2200061355, 2022/06/21).

resultsThe Hp positive rate in the HU group was significantly higher compared with the liver cirrhosis without ulcer group or the FD group. Moreover, the positive rate of Hp in HU patients with mild esophageal varices was higher than that in HU patients with moderate and severe esophageal varices. Additionally, the rate of Hp eradication and ulcer healing in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Importantly, the remission time of ulcer-related symptoms in the treatment group was shorter compared with the control group.

conclusionHp is a contributor to HU and an integrated strategy consisting of rabeprazole, amoxicillin and levofloxacin is effective in the treatment of HU, providing a potential application for HU patients.
