Efficacy and Safety of 10-Day Versus 14-Day Bismuth-Containing Quadruple Therapy for
Review in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Nearly half of the world population is infected by Methods: We searched electronic databases from their inception until May 2024 to retrieve all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared 10-day and 14-day BQT regimens for Results: Seven RCTs and a total of 2424 patients were included in the meta-analysis. There was no significant difference in the intention-to-treat eradication rate (RR 0.97; 95% CI 0.94, 1.01) and the per-protocol eradication rate (RR 0.96; 95% CI 0.93, 1.00) between the 10-day BQT and 14-day BQT groups. Commonly reported adverse events in both groups were epigastric pain and discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. There was no significant difference in the risk of adverse events between the two groups (RR 0.85; 95% CI 0.70, 1.03). There was no significant difference in the compliance rate between the two groups (RR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00, 1.04). Conclusion: The eradication rates, risk of adverse events, and compliance rates were comparable between the two groups. Future research comparing similar drug doses with larger sample sizes and longer patient follow-ups can improve the quality of results.
