Title:Short term micronutrient-antioxidant supplementation has no impact on
gastric atrophy in Zambian adults: retrospective analysis of a randomised
controlled trial
Version:2Date:2 February 2014
Reviewer: Shigemi Nakajima
Reviewer's report:
This is a study to find beneficial effects of short-term micronutrient-antioxidant
supplementation on gastric atrophy which is one of the premalignant lesions.
Unfortunately they did not find any beneficial effects, however, the study design
is excellent and the interpretation of the results is satisfactory. Therefor I
recommend you to accept this paper for BMC Gastroenterology.
Minor errors
1. In the last sentence: "...adults. Implying..." should be "...adults, implying..."
2. Abbreviatons should be noted when it first appeared.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I have no conflict of interest with this study.
