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

backgroundHelicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped Gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium associated with a number of gastrointestinal disorders, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Several studies have implicated a Th17 response as a key to protective immunity against Helicobacter. MATERIALS AND

methodsWild type (WT) and MyD88-deficient (MyD88(-/-)) mice in the C57BL/6 background were infected with H. felis for 6 and 25 weeks and colonization density and host response evaluated. Real-time PCR was used to determine the expression of cytokines and antimicrobial peptides in the gastric tissue of mice.

resultsmRNA expression levels of the Th17 cytokines interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and IL-22 were markedly up-regulated in WT compared with MyD88(-/-) mice both at 6 and at 25 weeks in response to infection with H. felis, indicating that induction of Th17 responses depends on MyD88 signaling. Furthermore, reduction in the expression of Th17-dependent intestinal antimicrobial peptide lipocalin-2 was linked with increased bacterial burden in the absence of MyD88 signaling.

conclusionWe provide evidence showing that MyD88-dependent signaling is required for the host to induce a Th17 response for the control of Helicobacter infection.
