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 a genetically diverse bacterial species, which has facilitated adaptation to new hosts and persists worldwide. The main objective of this study was to explore intra-familial transmission of H. pylori in Bangladesh. We characterized H. pylori in 35 families including 138 family members using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting. Forty-six percent of H. pylori isolated from the mother shared a related genotype with strains isolated from their children. Twenty-nine percent of H. pylori isolates of the mother are related to the youngest children. Only 6% of the parents shared related genotype of H. pylori. These findings suggest that mother-to-child transmission occurs in early childhood and is the most probable route of transmission of H. pylori in Bangladesh.
