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

Protection in the murine model of Helicobacter pylori infection may be mediated by CD4+ T cells, but the mechanism remains unclear. To better understand how protection occurs in this model, we generated and characterized H. pylori urease-specific CD4+ T cells from BALB/c mice immunized with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing H. pylori urease (subunits A and B). The CD4+ T cells were found to be specific for subunit A (UreA). Upon antigen-specific stimulation, expression of interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-10, gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), and tumor necrosis factor alpha was induced. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that the majority of cells produced IFN-gamma and IL-10. Adoptive transfer of the UreA-specific CD4+ T cells into naive syngeneic recipients led to a threefold reduction in the number of bacteria in the recipient group when compared to that in the nonrecipient group. Stomach colonization was also reduced significantly after transfer of these cells into patently infected mice. Adoptive transfer of UreA-specific CD4+ T cells into IL-4 receptor alpha chain-deficient BALB/c mice indicated that IL-4 and IL-13 were not critical in the control of bacterial load. In addition, synthetic peptides were used to identify three functional T-cell epitopes present in subunit A which were recognized by the UreA-specific T cells. Analysis of H. pylori-specific cellular immune responses in recipient challenged and nonrecipient infected mice indicated a strong local restriction of the response in infected animals. The implications of these findings for the mechanism of protection and the development of peptide-based vaccination are discussed.
