Rare incidence of interspousal transmission of Helicobacter pylori in asymptomatic individuals in Japan.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism electrophoretic patterns of amplified ureB and ureC of Helicobacter pylori were compared between spouses after digestion with restriction endonucleases. Twenty of 21 couples, both members of which were positive for H. pylori, showed ureB and ureC patterns that differed between spouses. We concluded that in Japan, interspousal transmission of H. pylori occurs rarely.
