Seroepidemiology of Helicobacter pylori infection in elderly people in the Beijing region, China.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo investigate seroepidemiology of cagA(+) and vacA(+) strains of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in an elderly population in Beijing and to determine risk factors for seropositivity.
methodsA total of 2006 elderly persons (> 60 years) were selected using a random cluster sampling method in different parts of the Beijing area (urban, suburban and mountainous districts). Structured questionnaires were completed during home visits, including history of H. pylori infection, history of gastrointestinal diseases, diet types, hygiene habits, occupation and economic status. Blood samples (2 mL) were collected from each participant, and serum IgG antibodies to cagA, vacA and H. pylori urease antigens were measured by immunodetection.
resultsThe prevalence of H. pylori infection in elderly subjects was 83.4% and the type I H. pylori strain infection rate was 56%. The seroprevalence for type I H. pylori strain infection in urban and suburban districts was higher than that in the mountainous areas (P < 0.001). Elderly subjects who had previously performed manual labor or were in the young-old age group (age < 75 years) had a higher seroprevalence of H. pylori infection than those who had previously performed mental labor or were in the oldest-old age group (age ≥ 75 year) (P < 0.05). The type I H. pylori strain infection rate in the elderly with vegetarian diets was higher than in those eating high-protein foods (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of H. pylori strains between male and female elderly participants (P > 0.05).
conclusionType I H. pylori seroprevalence is higher in elderly people. The distribution of strains of H. pylori is significantly affected by age, area and dietary habits.
