Systematic analysis of proton pump inhibitors-related adverse reactions using the FDA adverse event reporting system database.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundProton pump inhibitors (PPIs), known for their potent acid-suppressing effects, are widely used in various clinical settings, including treatment and prevention. Understanding their adverse effects is crucial. This study, utilizing the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, comprehensively analyzes PPI-related adverse events to guide clinical medication practices.
methodsThis study analyzed suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to specific PPI drugs using data from the FAERS database, covering Q1 2004 to Q4 2024. Multiple statistical methods, including ROR, PRR, IC025, and EBGM, were employed for evaluation, with ADRs defined according to System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT). A comparative analysis was conducted to assess potential differences in ADR profiles among different PPI drugs.
resultsThis study analyzed 176,680 cases of PPI-related adverse events, with a total of 632,468 adverse reaction reports recorded when PPIs were designated as the primary suspected drug (PS). PPIs showed significantly elevated risks in the renal/urinary and gastrointestinal systems, with other common adverse reactions including hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, and renal anemia. Most adverse reactions occurred either within the first 0-30 days of use or after prolonged exposure (>6 months), and elderly patients (≥65 years) were disproportionately affected.
conclusionsFor high-risk populations using PPIs long-term (such as elderly patients or those with pre-existing renal impairment), continuous monitoring is essential to mitigate potential complications. Unnecessary use should be strictly avoided, and long-term medication should be minimized to ensure safety and appropriateness.
