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: Helicobacter pylori infection, a global health concern, is treated with various antibiotic regimens, but rising resistance causes variable outcomes. This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of different eradication regimens. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception to October 2025. Randomized and observational studies reporting eradication rates or adverse events were included. Pooled estimates were calculated using random-effects models with subgroup analyses and meta-regression. Results Fifty-seven studies (19,941 participants, 127 arms) were included. The pooled eradication rate was 83.0% (95% CI: 81.4%-84.5%; I²=87.3%). Egger's and Begg's tests indicated publication bias (both Systematic review registration: CRD420251207695, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251207695.
