Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that proton pump inhibitors relieve symptoms of gastritis?

Partly. Several sources indicate PPIs relieve symptoms of acid-related conditions such as GERD and ulcers, and one small postoperative study found PPI relief of GI symptoms, but none directly establishes relief of gastritis symptoms generally. Other sources associate PPI use with more severe atrophic gastritis, so the evidence only partially covers the claim and points both ways.
