Occurrence of New Helicobacter pylori Infections in Healthy, Helicobacter pylori-Negative Adults: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in The Korean journal of helicobacter and upper gastrointestinal research, 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
Objectives: The annual incidence of new Helicobacter pylori infections evaluated by serological test in Korean adults has been reported to be 2.1%-3.3%. This study evaluated the rate of new H. pylori infections using the urea breath test (UBT) and the factors associated with new infection. Methods: In this prospective observational study, we recruited participants from the National Cancer Screening Program who tested negative for H. pylori infection by both rapid urease test and histology between November 2007 and December 2014. The participants underwent the UBT to check their follow-up H. pylori infection status from August 2015 to December 2017. The primary outcome of this study was new H. pylori infection. Results: A total of 192 participants were enrolled in this study. During the mean follow-up of 4.1 years from the initial negative tests for H. pylori infection, a new infection occurred in six participants (3.1%, 6/192 participants). According to analyses using the logistic regression model, age (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.26) and corpus atrophy (OR, 9.83; 95% CI, 1.59-60.98) were associated with the new H. pylori infection in univariate analyses. However, no significant factors were identified in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: New H. pylori infection rarely occurred in Korean adults, with a rate of 3.1%. However, no independent risk factors for new infection were identified.
