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

Proteomic technology was employed to analyze serum samples from healthy subjects (10 cases) and gastritis patients with negative and positive Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection (15 cases each). The serum proteins were separated by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis and analyzed by a computer-aided program. The altered proteins in expression were then identified by mass spectrometry and validated by Western blotting. Compared to those in normal control, proteins in at least six areas of 2-D gels were found to significantly increase their expression levels in both Hp-negative and Hp-positive serum samples. These proteins were identified by mass peptide fingerprinting and confirmed by Western blotting to be the truncated or cleaved protein fragments of apolipoprotein A-I and alpha-1 antitrypsin, two well-known acute-phase proteins. We conclude that the degradation or metabolization of acute-phase proteins, apolipoprotein A-I, and alpha1-antitrypsin, is a common response to gastric inflammation irrespective of Hp infection.
