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

aimTo investigate the role of gastric mucosa at the secretion of sTREM-1 in peptic ulcer.

methodsSeventy two patients were enrolled; 35 with duodenal, 21 with gastric ulcer and 16 with chronic gastritis. Patients were endoscoped and gastric juice was aspirated. Patients with duodenal and gastric ulcer underwent a second endoscopy post-treatment. Biopsies were incubated in the absence/presence of endotoxins or gastric juice. Supernatants were collected and sTREM-1 and TNFalpha were measured by enzyme immunoabsorbent assays. Scoring of gastritis was performed before and after treatment according to updated Sydney score.

resultsPatients with duodenal and gastric ulcer and those with chronic gastritis had similar scores of gastritis. sTREM-1 was higher in supernatants of tissue samples of H pylori-positive than of H pylori-negative patients with gastric ulcer. Median (+/- SE) sTREM-1 was found increased in supernatants of patients with gastric ulcer before treatment (203.21 +/- 88.91 pg/1000 cells) compared to supernatants either from the same patients post-treatment (8.23 +/- 5.79 pg/1000 cells) or from patients with chronic gastritis (6.21 +/- 0.71 pg/1000 cells) (P < 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). Similar differences for sTREM-1 were recorded among LPS-stimulated tissue samples of patients (P = 0.001). Similar differences were not found for TNFalpha. Positive correlations were found between sTREM-1 of supernatants from patients with both duodenal and gastric ulcer before treatment and the degree of infiltration of neutrophils and monocytes.

conclusionsTREM-1 secreted by the gastric mucosa is an independent mechanism connected to the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer. sTREM-1 was released at the presence of H pylori from the inflamed gastric mucosa in the field of gastric ulcer.
