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

aimHelicobacter pylori infection, though common, leads to gastric cancer (GC) in less than 1% individuals, suggesting the role of host factors. We previously reported the role of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) polymorphisms, the gene encoding a carcinogen-detoxifying enzyme, in GC. This study was aimed to evaluate GST enzyme activity, GST polymorphism, glutathione (GSH) levels and H. pylori in patients with GC.

methodsGST and GSH levels were estimated in gastric biopsies of 52 patients with GC, 37 functional dyspepsia (FD) and 39 peptic ulcer (PU), and correlated with H. pylori (ELISA) infection and GST polymorphisms. GST polymorphisms were separately analyzed in relationship to H. pylori in 82 GC, 72 FD, 53 PU and 89 healthy controls (HC).

resultsGST activity was lower in patients with GC in comparison to PU (p = 0.03), but GSH levels were comparable. GSTT1 null genotype (GSTT1*0) and simultaneous deletion of both GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes was associated with lower enzyme activity (p = 0.02 and 0.01, respectively). GST and GSH levels in H. pylori positive and negative patients with GC, FD and PU were comparable. Presence of H. pylori infection along with GSTT1*0 (p = 0.006) and GSTM1*0 (p = 0.05) was associated with lower enzyme activity. GSTT1*0 was associated with higher odds ratio (OR) of GC in presence of H. pylori (GC vs. HC: p = 0.02, OR 2.6 [95% CI = 1-6] vs. p = 0.7, 1.3 [0.4-5.0]; GC vs. PU: p = 0.04, OR 3 [95% CI = 1-9] vs. not applicable (OR could not be computed as frequency of GSTT1*0 in H. pylori negative patients with PU was zero)].

conclusionsGC is associated with reduced GST activity. Odds ratio of GC associated with GSTT1*0 is enhanced in presence of H. pylori probably due to combined effect of both on enzyme activity.
