Gene distribution of cagII in Helicobacter pylori-infected patients of Zhejiang Province.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo determine the prevalence of genotypes of cagII in Helicobacter pylori (H pylori)-infected patients in Zhejiang Province and investigate the relationship between these genotypes and the types of gastroduodenal diseases.
methodsOne hundred and seventy one clinical isolates were collected from 70 chronic superficial gastritis, 31 chronic atrophic gastritis, 41 gastric ulcer, 21 duodenal ulcer, 3 gastric and duodenal ulcer, and 5 gastric adenocarcinoma patients. Polymerase chain reaction assays were performed for analysis of cagT, ORF13 and ORF10 genes in the cagII region.
resultsOf 171 H pylori isolates from Zhejiang patients, 159(93.0%) were positive for all the three loci. One isolate (0.6%) was negative for all the three loci, and 11(6.4%) were partially deleted in cagII. The positive rates of cagT, ORF13 and ORF10 genes were 97.1%, 94.7% and 99.4%, respectively. In the strains isolated from the patients with diseases including chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, the sitive rates of cagT were 95.7%, 100.0%, 95.1% and 100.0%, respectively. The positive rates of ORF13 were 94.3%, 93.5%, 95.1% and 100.0%, respectively. The sitive rates of ORF10 were 98.6%, 100.0%, 100.0% and 100.0%, respectively. The three genes were all positive in the three H pylori strains isolated from the patients with both gastric and duodenal ulcer. In the five strains isolated from the patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, only one isolate was negative for ORF13. There were no significant differences of the cagT, ORF13 and ORF10 genes among the different gastroduodenal diseases including chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, both gastric and duodenal ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma (chi(2)=3.098, P>0.05 for cagT; chi(2)=3.935, P>0.05 for ORF13 and chi(2)=6.328, P>0.05 for ORF10).
conclusionThe cagII is not a uniform and conserved entity. Although the genes in cagII are highly associated with the gastroduodenal diseases, the clinical outcome of H pylori infection is not reliably predicted by the three genes in cagII in patients from Zhejiang Province.
