Helicobacter pylori specific immune response induced by conservative flagellin linear B-cell epitope.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2005. 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 testify the immunogenicity of a conservative B-cell linear epitope of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) flagellin A.
methodsDifferent programs were used to analyze the secondary structure, molecular hydropathy, and surface accessibility of H pylori flagellin A. Linear B-cell epitopes were estimated based on the structural and physiochemical information. Analysis of residue divergence was proposed to screen a conservative linear epitope. The 29-peptide (Pep29mer) synthesized by chemical method, including the predicted conservative B-cell epitope and a known K2d compatible T-cell epitope, was used to immunize mice, and then H pylori-specific antibodies were detected by ELISA.
resultsBased on the analyses of divergent amino acid residues, structural and physiochemical characteristics, it was strongly suggested that the short fragment NDSDGR was the core of a conservative linear epitope in flagellin A. Animals immunized by Pep29mer acquired efficient immune response. In detail, serum H pylori-specific IgA and IgG1 increased significantly in immunized group, while IgG2a only had an insignificant change. H pylori-specific IgA in gastrointestinal flushing fluid also increased significantly.
conclusionThe conservative short fragment NDSDGR is the core of a linear B-cell epitope of flagellin A.
