Core Tip	This study reports the results of a meta-analysis conducted on a large number of articles using an extensive and thorough method. The inclusion of only high-quality relevant articles resulted in the identification of a very strong correlation between the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection and intestinal metaplasia of the antrum, and a strong correlation with gastric atrophy in both the antrum and the corpus of the stomach.
