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

Helicobacter pylori possesses intrabacterial nanotransportation systems (ibNoTSs) for CagA and urease. Both systems are UreI-dependent and urea-independent, and activated by extrabacterial acid. The activation occurs/appears within 15 min after exposure to extrabacterial acid stimulation. Although it has been clarified that VacA is secreted via the type-V secretion machinery, it remains unclear how this toxin is transported toward the machinery. To clarify the intrabacterial nanotransportation system for H. pylori VacA, immunoelectron microscopic analysis was performed in this study. VacA shifted to the periphery of the bacterial cytoplasm at 30 min after the extracellular pH change, whereas CagA and urease did so within 15 min. Studies using an ureI-deletion mutant revealed that unlike CagA and urease transport, VacA transport was not UreI-dependent. VacA secretion was accelerated without an increase in the production of VacA 30 min after the exposure to extrabacterial acid. These findings indicated that H. pylori possesses a novel type of ibNoTS for VacA, which is different from that for CagA or urease, in response time and dependency of UreI.
