Association of Helicobacter pylori infection with cardiac syndrome X.
Article in Singapore medical journal, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionCardiac syndrome X (CSX) includes chest pain, positive exercise stress test and/or radionuclide test for ischaemia and normal coronary angiography. There is no obvious aetiology for this syndrome. Some mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction and oestrogen deficiency have been invoked. In this study, we surveyed the association of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection with cardiac syndrome X.
methodsHP infection was detected by urea breath test (UBT) in patients with cardiac syndrome X, and compared with a sex- and age-matched control group. Patients with dyspepsia and coronary spasm were excluded. Statistical analysis was carried out using chi-square test.
results40 patients (29 females and 11 males) with cardiac syndrome X aged between 30 and 65 years (mean 45.51 +/- 5.03 years) were compared with a control group (28 females and 12 males) aged between 31 and 64 years old (mean 44.93 +/- 5.16 years). 95 percent of patients were HP infected, while only 47.5 percent of members of the control group were infected (p-value is less than 0.001).
conclusionConsidering the high prevalence of HP infection in patients with CSX in our sample and probable causative effect of chronic infection in vascular diseases, we believe that there is a probable role for HP infection in the pathogenesis of CSX.
