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

background

objectiveTo prospectively evaluate and compare the efficacy of various first-line METHODOLOGY: A prospective observational study was conducted from October 2023 to September 2024 at the Department of Gastroenterology, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Medical College and Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences, Muzaffarabad. A total of 252 endoscopically confirmed, treatment-naïve PUD patients were enrolled and assigned to one of the three regimens using a rotational system. Eradication success was evaluated at 6 weeks post-treatment via urea breath or stool antigen test. Antibiotic resistance was assessed using culture and sensitivity testing from gastric biopsies. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of eradication success.

resultsAmong 252 patients, 84 (33.33%) received standard triple therapy, 83 (32.94%) received bismuth-based quadruple therapy, and 85 (33.73%) received concomitant therapy. Overall,

conclusionConcomitant and bismuth-based quadruple therapies are superior to standard triple therapy in
