Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of K-CAB (Tegoprazan) as Symptomatic Maintenance Therapy in Patients With NERD: A Multicenter, Randomized Double-Blinded Controlled Trial.
Article in The Korean journal of helicobacter and upper gastrointestinal research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objectives: This preliminary, randomized, double-blind, multi-center study evaluated the efficacy of alternate-day tegoprazan (50 mg) versus daily lansoprazole (15 mg) as for maintenance therapy in patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). Methods: Forty five participants were enrolled and treated for 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was the proportion of symptom-free days. The secondary endpoints were changes in Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) scores. Results: It showed no significant difference between groups in the proportion of symptom-free days between both groups (tegoprazan: 60.4%±6.3%; lansoprazole: 74.0%±6.5%). The GSRS and GERD-HRQL score improvements were also comparable between both groups. Both treatments were well tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported. Conclusions: These findings suggest that alternate-day tegoprazan offers comparable efficacy and safety to daily lansoprazole therapy and may serve as a more flexible and patient-friendly maintenance option for NERD.
