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

BACKGROUND &

aimsWe used the rhesus macaque model to study the effects of the cag pathogenicity island (cag PAI) on the H pylori host-pathogen interaction.

methodsH pylori-specific pathogen-free (SPF) monkeys were experimentally challenged with wild-type (WT) H pylori strain J166 (J166WT, n = 4) or its cag PAI isogenic knockout (J166Deltacag PAI, n = 4). Animals underwent endoscopy before and 1, 4, 8, and 13 weeks after challenge. Gastric biopsies were collected for quantitative culture, histopathology, and host gene expression analysis.

resultsQuantitative cultures showed that all experimentally challenged animals were infected with J166WT or its isogenic J166Deltacag PAI. Histopathology demonstrated that inflammation and expansion of the lamina propria were attenuated in animals infected with J166Deltacag PAI compared with J166WT. Microarray analysis showed that of the 119 up-regulated genes in the J166WT-infected animals, several encode innate antimicrobial effector proteins, including elafin, siderocalin, DMBT1, DUOX2, and several novel paralogues of human-beta defensin-2. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed that high-level induction of each of these genes depended on the presence of the cag PAI. Immunohistochemistry confirmed increased human-beta defensin-2 epithelial cell staining in animals challenged with J166WT compared with either J166Deltacag PAI-challenged or uninfected control animals.

conclusionsWe propose that one function of the cag PAI is to induce an antimicrobial host response that may serve to increase the competitive advantage of H pylori in the gastric niche and could even provide a protective benefit to the host.
