A study of Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis patterns in Iraq and their association with strain virulence.
Article in Saudi journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Saudi Gastroenterology Association, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND/
aimHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes peptic ulceration and gastric adenocarcinoma. In Iraq, gastric cancer is rare. We investigated whether infected adults had the antral-predominant pattern of H. pylori-associated gastritis, which does not predispose to cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe evaluated histopathological changes by the Sydney scoring system in gastric biopsies taken from 30 H. pylori-infected adults and studied the correlation of these changes with the virulence factors. The Mann-Whitney test was used for the comparison of histopathological data. The presence or absence of each pathological index was evaluated with respect to the possession of virulence factors by the infecting H. pylori strain using the chi(2) test.
resultsGastric lymphocyte infiltration was more prominent in the antrum (P = 0.01). Neutrophil infiltration was mild and gastric mucosal atrophy was rare. No relationship was found between virulence factors and histopathological changes.
conclusionsThe mild pathology and antral-predominant gastritis help explain the low cancer rate in Iraq.
