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

Helicobacter hepaticus, a causative agent of chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma in mice, expresses a nickel-containing hydrogen-oxidizing hydrogenase enzyme. Growth of a hyaB gene-targeted mutant was unaffected by the presence of hydrogen, unlike the wild-type strain, which showed an enhanced growth rate when supplied with H(2). Hydrogenase activities in H. hepaticus were constitutive and not dependent on the inclusion of H(2) during growth. Addition of nickel during growth significantly stimulated both urease (for wild-type and hyaB) and hydrogenase (for wild-type) activities. In a 5-h period, the extent of (14)C-labeled amino acid uptake by the wild type was markedly enhanced in the presence of hydrogen and was >5-fold greater than that of the hyaB mutant strain. In the presence of H(2), the short-term whole-cell amino acid uptake V(max) of the parent strain was about 2.2-fold greater than for the mutant, but the half-saturation affinity for amino acid transport was the same for the parent and mutant strain. The liver- and cecum-colonizing abilities of the strains was estimated by real-time PCR quantitation of the H. hepaticus-specific cytolethal distending toxin gene and showed similar animal colonization for the hyaB mutant and the wild type. However, at 21 weeks postinoculation, the livers from mice inoculated with wild type exhibited moderate lobular lymphoplasmacytic hepatitis with hepatocytic coagulative necrosis, but the hydrogenase mutants exhibited no histological evidence of lobular inflammation or necrosis.
