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

Introduction: Methods: This observational study was conducted from 2021 to 2022 at Shahid Motahari Clinic, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. A total of 108 patients with dyspepsia and confirmed Results: Among 108 patients, 74% had peptic ulcer disease. The UBT showed the highest diagnostic accuracy (100% sensitivity, 94.6% specificity). Anti- Conclusion: Our findings underscore UBT as the most accurate method and highlight the value of stool antigen testing for follow-up. Monitoring IgG titer changes may support treatment assessment when used alongside other tools, though its low specificity limits stand-alone use.
