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/Aims: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used for gastric acid suppression but are associated with adverse effects such as hypergastrinemia and delayed gastric emptying (GE). Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), a new class of acid suppressants, rapidly and sustainably inhibit gastric acid secretion. We compared the long-term effects of different P-CABs and PPIs on gastric pH, serum gastrin levels, GE, and small intestinal microbiota in a rat model. Methods: Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to receive control, esomeprazole, tegoprazan, or vonoprazan by oral gavage for 1, 2, or 4 weeks. After sacrifice, gastric pH, serum gastrin levels, and GE were measured, and the small intestinal microbiota were analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. Results: All drug-treated groups exhibited significantly higher gastric pH than the control group. Tegoprazan achieved the highest pH at week 2, surpassing those of esomeprazole and vonoprazan. Serum gastrin levels were significantly elevated in all drug-treated groups but remained stable from weeks 1 to 4, indicating a plateau effect. GE was transiently delayed at week 2 but returned to baseline by week 4 in all drug-treated groups. Long-term administration of both P-CABs and PPI led to reduced microbial diversity and distinct taxonomic shifts with changes in the abundance of Conclusions: Long-term administration of P-CABs and PPIs altered gastrin levels, GE, and gut microbiota. Therefore, the acid suppression-related adverse effects of P-CABs and PPIs are expected to be similar.
