Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been the first-line drug of choice for acid-peptic diseases for a long time. While literature is abundant on the efficacy of the drug, the adverse effects of this drug, especially in the gastrointestinal (GI) system, have been a topic of ongoing research interest. The long-term safety profile remains controversial. PPIs have been found to cause polyps, malignancies, and pre-cancerous conditions such as intestinal metaplasia, enteric infections such as
