Patterns of intestinal metaplasia in gastric biopsies. A comparison of different histochemical classifications.
Article in The Histochemical journal, 1991. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
A total of 217 cases of gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM), out of 491 cases of consecutive multiple gastric biopsies, were examined using various histochemical methods. Three classifications were adopted (1) Jass and Filipe's (1979), (2) Segura and Montero's (1983), and (3) our own distinguishing two types of small intestine IM (incomplete and complete) and two types of colonic IM (incomplete and complete). Our classification revealed (1) a group of 'pure' IM cases (44%), (2) a group of 'combined' IM cases (15%), either small intestinal or colonic, expressing a maturating line, and (3) a conspicuous group of mixed 'mosaic' IM cases (41%) consisting of all possible combinations between the basic IM types. No significant correlations were found between each IM type and associated diseases (i.e. gastritis, stump gastritis, ulcer, adenoma and adenocarcinoma). However, a suggestive association between colonic IM and malignancy was observed. Our results confirmed the heterogeneity of IM and indicated two differentiation cell lines (ileal and colonic), thus providing additional evidence of impaired maturation and aberrant differentiation along various cell lines, supporting Leblond's (1976) unifying theory on the origin of intestinal epithelial cells.
