Clinical and Histological Co-occurrence of Tropical Sprue and Helicobacter pylori Infection in Northeastern India: An Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTropical sprue (TS) and infection caused by
methodsWe enrolled 67 patients with dyspepsia, who also had an associated history suggestive of malabsorption (any two of the following: chronic diarrhea greater than four weeks and/or unintentional significant weight loss of >5% body weight over three months and/or nutritional deficiency of iron, B12, or folate in various proportions). They presented to the gastroenterology referral OPD of a tertiary care hospital in the northeastern region of India over a period of two and a half years. These patients were incorporated after informed consent and after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They initially underwent a battery of blood and stool tests to exclude other prevalent causes of malabsorption. This was followed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with additional rapid urease testing (RUT) wherever indicated, and mandatory biopsies were taken from the stomach corpus, antrum, and the second part of the duodenum.
