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

Recent studies have revealed elevated expression of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) in gastric mucosa of patients with gastric cancer (GC) and those undergoing ulcer repair. As production of TGF-beta1 is genetically regulated, we aimed to assess whether functional polymorphisms of the TGFB1 gene are involved in susceptibility to and clinical characteristics of Helicobacter pylori-related diseases. DNA from 142 unrelated Spanish patients with GC, 200 with peptic ulcer and 342 healthy controls was typed for the MspA1I T+869C, and the Sau96I G+915C polymorphisms of the TGFB1 gene using polymerase chain reaction and RFLP analysis. H. pylori infection and CagA/VacA antibody status were determined by Western blot in patients and controls. H. pylori infection (odds ratio (OR): 11.44; 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.45-29.42; P<0.001) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (OR: 5.07; 95% CI: 2.53-10.16; P<0.001) were identified as independent risks factors for duodenal ulcer (DU), whereas the TGFB1+869(*)C/C genotype was associated with reduced risk of developing the disease (OR: 0.32; 95% CI=0.15-0.68; P=0.003). Our results show that the TGFB1 T+869C gene polymorphism is involved in the susceptibility to DU and provide further evidence that host genetic factors play a key role in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-related diseases.
