Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque: a comparison of different PCR primer sets.

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.
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
This study was designed to compare different primer sets for PCR analysis of H. pylori in the same series of 40 dental plaque samples. Three pairs of primers, HPU1/HPU2, HP1/HP2, and EHC-U/EHC-L, directed to the urease A gene, 16S rRNA gene, or 860-bp DNA of H. pylori, respectively, were used. Our results demonstrate that EHC-L/EHC-U were more specific and sensitive for H. pylori added to saliva or dental plaque than HPU1/HPU2 and HP1/HP2. The detection rates for H. pylori DNA in dental plaque samples from randomly selected adult patients from the Dental Clinic of the University of Ulm were 26.5% (9/34) for HPU1/HPU2, 78.9% (30/38) for HP1/HP2, and 100% (40/40) for EHC-U/EHC-L (P < 0.001). Nested PCR using primers directed to the 860-bp DNA of H. pylori further confirmed the presence of H. pylori DNA (40/40) in all these samples. Our results indicate that primers EHC-U/EHC-L are to be recommended for PCR detection of H. pylori in the oral cavity.
