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

Helicobacter pylori is considered as a causative agent of gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcers, and gastric cancer. During inflammation, association of the pathogen of gastric epithelial cells and mucins is considered important. It was postulated that Lewis b structures of secretory MUC 5AC mucin can be a receptor for the bacterium. Some authors also suggest that epithelial MUC 1 mucin may be implicated in the mechanism of infection. The main aim of our work was to support this last suggestion by evaluation of the possible changes in MUC 1 and Lewis a and b levels in gastric juice before and at the end of eradication treatment. The gastric juices of ten examined patients were chromatographed on a Sepharose 4 B column, electrotransferred on Immobilon P membranes, and assessed for MUC 1 and Lewis a and b structures using monoclonal antibodies. In 90% of examined patients, higher amounts of MUC 1 mucin were observed at the end of eradication treatment. Similar results for Lewis a and b structures were found. In the case of MUC 1 and Lewis b, the differences were statistically significant. Helicobacter pylori influences expression of the soluble form of MUC 1 mucin and Lewis a and b structures present in gastric juice.
