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

backgroundFew studies have evaluated the potential influence of Helicobacter pylori on biomarkers for diabetes.

methodsWe conducted cross-sectional analyses using data from 7417 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (aged ≥18 years) and 6072 participants in NHANES 1999-2000 (aged ≥3 years) to assess the association between H. pylori and levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).

resultsThere was no association between H. pylori and history of self-reported diabetes. Helicobacter pylori seropositivity, especially H. pylori cagA positivity, was positively associated (P < .01, NHANES III; P = .02, NHANES 1999-2000) with HbA1c levels after excluding individuals with history of diabetes and controlling for potential confounders. There was also a synergistic interaction between H. pylori and higher body mass index (BMI), such that increased levels of HbA1c associated with having both H. pylori and higher BMI were greater than the sum of their individual effects (P for interaction < .01). This interaction was observed consistently in both NHANES III and NHANES 1999-2000 and for H. pylori cagA positivity in NHANES III.

conclusionsThe findings indicate a role of H. pylori in impaired glucose tolerance in adults that may be potentiated by higher BMI level.
