Helicobacter pylori in patients suffering from pulmonary disease.
Article in Tanaffos, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundRecently, research of indirect evidence suggested a possible association between Helicobacter pylori and pulmonary disease. This study aimed to determine if H. pylori could be detected in endobronchial specimens collected from patients undergoing bronchoscopy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective study was conducted on 34 consecutive patients with any type of lung disease undergoing bronchoscopy in which biopsy was required for their diagnosis. A written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Three bronchial mucosa biopsy samples were obtained using fenestrated biopsy forceps. One sample was used to determine urease activity, the second one for histopathological examination, and the third one for diagnosis. All subjects were fully informed regarding the gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) Questionnaire.
resultsThere were 34 patients with pulmonary diseases (12 males and 22 females, mean age 58.2±18.2 years) out of which, 11 (32.4%) had GERD. No significant difference was found between the histopathological assay and GERD.
conclusionOur study found no direct evidence supporting the theory that H. pylori may cause pulmonary disease and no relation with GERD was detected. However, a possible indirect role could not be excluded. Further studies in patients with GERD and lung disease may reveal a potential pathogenic link between H. pylori and pulmonary disease.
