Core Tip	Concomitant therapy is one of the most effective first line regimen for Helicobacter pylori eradication. The comparison with other regimens (sequential or triple) in a selected geographical region (China in this case) implies several issues. The low number of included studies, the lack of quality evaluation and the high heterogeneity may undermine the strength of a meta-analysis. Therefore, further studies are needed to prove which is the best first line eradication treatment in China, according to the geographical differences in antibiotic resistances.
