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

Nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays a key regulatory role in host cell responses to Helicobacter pylori infection in humans. Although mice are routinely used as a model to study H. pylori pathogenesis, the role of NF-kappaB in murine cell responses to helicobacters has not been studied in detail. We thus investigated the abilities of different Helicobacter isolates to induce NF-kappaB-dependent responses in murine gastric epithelial cells (GECs) and in transgenic mice harboring an NF-kappaB-responsive lacZ reporter gene. H. pylori and Helicobacter felis strains up-regulated the synthesis in mouse GECs of the NF-kappaB-dependent chemokines KC (CXCL1) and MIP-2 (CXCL2). These responses were cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) independent and could be abolished by pretreatment with a pharmacological inhibitor of NF-kappaB. Consistent with the in vitro data, experimental Helicobacter infection of transgenic mice resulted in increased numbers of GECs with nuclear beta-galactosidase activity, which is indicative of specific NF-kappaB activation. The numbers of beta-galactosidase-positive cells in mice were significantly increased at day 1 postinoculation with wild-type H. pylori strains harboring or not harboring a functional cagPAI, compared to naive animals (P = 0.007 and P = 0.04, respectively). Strikingly, however, no differences were observed in the levels of gastric NF-kappaB activation at day 1 postinoculation with H. felis or at day 30 or 135 postinoculation with H. pylori. This work demonstrates for the first time the induction of NF-kappaB activation within gastric mucosal cells during acute H. pylori infection. Furthermore, the data suggest that helicobacters may be able to regulate NF-kappaB signaling during chronic infection.
