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

An enzyme immuno assay (EIA) test based on Japanese strain-derived high-molecular-weight cell-associated proteins (JHM-CAP) was evaluated by comparing with a previously developed EIA test based on a U.S. strain-derived high-molecular-weight cell-associated proteins (HM-CAP). Serum samples of 131 Japanese asymptomatic children (mean age, 5.5 years; range, 0 to 21 years) were tested that include 43 positive and 88 negative children as judged by Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test (HpSA test). Both tests showed comparable and reliable specificities, but the sensitivity of JHM-CAP EIA, at 93.0%, was much higher than that of HM-CAP EIA, at 67.4%. More false-negative results of HM-CAP were obtained in children under 10 years of age. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the JHM-CAP but not the HM-CAP preparation had a 100-kDa antigen recognized by JHM-CAP positive sera. It was concluded that JHM-CAP EIA is highly accurate for the serodiagnosis of H. pylori infection in Japanese young children and that the high sensitivity of JHM-CAP EIA in contrast to HM-CAP EIA is due to the presence of a 100-kDa antigen in Japanese strains that may be recognized by the host immune system at an early stage of infection.
