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

contextThe rising antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection have made treatment more challenging. A low-nickel diet may improve eradication rates based on the bacteria's mechanisms.

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of a low-nickel diet during standard triple therapy on the rate of H. pylori eradication.

methodsThis randomized clinical trial included patients with H. pylori infection who were classified into the following two groups: low-nickel diet and regular diet. Both groups received the standard triple therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor. After at least 8 weeks of treatment, a control test for H. pylori was performed.

resultsPer-protocol analysis showed a higher rate of H. pylori eradication in the low-nickel diet group than in the regular diet group (91.7% vs 75.8%; P=0.026). In addition, obesity was associated with poorer eradication rates (73.2% vs 88.9%, P=0.038). Patients on a low-nickel diet were 3.41 times (1.21-11.40) more likely to have H. pylori eradication than those on a normal diet.

conclusionThis study showed that low-nickel diet, which is a low-cost and low-risk intervention, may be an appropriate strategy for increasing H. pylori eradication rates.

background• Evaluate the effect of low-nickel diet during standard triple therapy on the rate of Helicobacter pylori eradication.

background• This randomized clinical trial included patients infected with Helicobacter pylori in groups with a low-nickel nickel or regular diet, who underwent standard triple therapy and the efficacy of bacterial eradication was compared between both groups.

background• Per-protocol analysis showed a higher rate of Helicobacter pylori eradication in the low-nickel diet group than in the regular diet group (91.7% vs 75.8%; P=0.026).

background• The low-nickel diet is an appropriate strategy for increasing Helicobacter pylori eradication rates.
