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 DNA has been detected in the liver specimens of patients with various hepato-biliary diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of H. pylori DNA in the liver tissue of Iranian patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD). Genomic DNA was extracted from the paraffin sections of 46 liver biopsies of patients with CLD and 13 from patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma as a control group. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was carried out using primers for H. pylori 16S rRNA and cagA genes. On analysis, 17 of the 46 patient samples were positive in H. pylori 16S rRNA PCR and 2 of the 13 were positive from the control group. None of the samples were positive for the cagA gene. This study showed the greater presence of H. pylori-like DNA in the liver samples from patients with CLD than in controls.
