Quantitative ¹³C-urea breath test values predict peptic ulcer risk in

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
Background: The quantitative ¹³C-urea breath test (¹³C-UBT) is valuable for diagnosing Methods: In this retrospective study, 1,034 consecutive children aged 3-18 years undergoing ¹³C-UBT with endoscopy and histopathological evaluation at Fujian Children's Hospital (May 2021-May 2025) were enrolled. DOB cutoff values were determined by ROC analysis. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses evaluated associations between DOBs and ulcer risk. Results: The optimal pediatric-specific cutoff was 5.285% [Sensitivity 84%, Specificity 90%, area under the curve (AUC) 0.879]. Children with ulcers had significantly higher median DOBs than those without (3.1% vs. 1.9%; Conclusions: A DOB cutoff of 5.285‰ provides excellent diagnostic accuracy for pediatric
