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

aimThe aim of current study is to investigate whether tonsillar and/or adenoid tissue of patients with chronic adenotonsillitis plays a reservoir role for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or Helicobacter hepaticus (H. hepaticus).

backgroundRecently, there have been arguments ragarding Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) being reserved in adenotonsillar tissue. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study was performed with 90 patients with the diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis and adenoid hypertrophy, mean age 36 ± 22, 32 (36%) female and 58(64%) male. Presence of H. pylori and H.hepaticus were detected by glmM gene and 16S rRNA specific primers respectively.

resultsOf all patients 58 (65%) were found seropositive for H. pylori IgG while only 7(8%) patients had gentile gastrointestinal (GI) symptom, all gastritis. H. pylori and H.hepaticus was not detected in any of the patients by PCR.

conclusionThere was no correlation between GI symptom and/or seropositivity of H. pylori with presence of H. pylori and H. hepaticus in adenotonsillar tissues. Our results did not support the role of adenotonsills as a reservoir for H. pylori or H. hepaticus.
