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

Recent reports have suggested that oral vaccination of mice against Helicobacter pylori is dependent on a Th1-mediated immune response. However, oral vaccination in mice neither induces sterilizing immunity nor leads to complete protection from disease. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether a systemic subcutaneous immunization against H. pylori by using CpG oligodeoxynucleotides as a Th1 adjuvant could achieve protection in a mouse model of H. pylori infection. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides are known for their ability to induce nearly entirely Th1-biased immune responses and may be approved for human use in future. Immunization of mice with H. pylori lysate and CpG induced a strong local and systemic Th1 immune response. Despite this strong Th1 response, mice were not protected from infection with H. pylori yet had a 10-fold reduction in the number of H. pylori in the gastric mucosa compared to nonimmunized mice. Of note, reduction of the bacterial density in immunized mice was accompanied by a significantly enhanced gastritis. Hence, systemic Th1 immunization of mice, even though being able to reduce the bacterial load in the stomach, is associated with aggravated pathology.
