Serum-free culture of H pylori intensifies cytotoxicity.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2007. 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 perform a long culture passage of H pylori without serum, taking into account its cytotoxicity and the presence of the probable new cytotoxic factor.
methodsOne sample of H pylori 60190 (ATCC 49503) was grown on Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) agar containing 0.5% 2,6-di-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin without any serum, being passaged 70-100 times every 3-4 d for approximately 2 h, while another sample of H pylori contained 70 mL/L fetal calf serum without 2,6-di-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. Their supernatant and extract after 16 h in culture were evaluated for changes in cell morphology and for cell viability using HeLa cells. Furthermore, the characteristics of the probable cytotoxic factor in the extract were examined on partial purification studies and its cytotoxicity was evaluated in various human cells.
resultsThe supernatant and the extract of the bacterium grown on serum-free medium had strong cytotoxicity compared with those grown on serum-containing medium. They irreversibly damaged HeLa cells without vacuolation that was altogether different from that of the bacterium when grown with serum. Their cytotoxicity was easily measured by cell viability assay. The probable cytotoxic factor partially purified and detected by chromatography had characteristics difference from that of vacuolating toxin and a broad cytotoxicity toward various cell lines.
conclusionSerum-free long culture method of H pylori makes its supernatant and its extract cytotoxic enough to be easily measured by cell viability assay. The probable cytotoxic factor has a unique characteristic and might be a new cytotoxin.
