1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Isogenic flagellum-negative mutants of Helicobacter pylori and Helicobacter mustelae were screened for their ability to adhere to primary human and ferret gastric epithelial cells, respectively. We also evaluated the adherence of an H. pylori strain with a mutation in the flbA gene, a homologue of the flbF/lcrD family of genes known to be involved in the regulation of H. pylori flagellar biosynthesis. H. pylori and H. mustelae mutants deficient in production of FlaA or FlaB and mutants deficient in the production of both FlaA and FlaB showed no reduction in adherence to primary human or ferret gastric epithelial cells compared with the wild-type parental strains. However, adherence of the H. pylori flbA mutant to human gastric cells was significantly reduced compared to the adherence of the wild-type strain. These results show that flagella do not play a direct role in promoting adherence of H. pylori or H. mustelae to gastric epithelial cells. However, genes involved in the regulation of H. pylori flagellar biosynthesis may also regulate the production of an adhesin.
