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

BACKGROUNDS AND

aimsAlthough Helicobacter pylori is widely accepted as a causative factor of many gastric diseases, the signaling pathways affected by H. pylori and subsequent effects on cell apoptosis and proliferation remain unclear. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms mediating H. pylori infection in gastric epithelial cells.

methodsTissues from 160 patients with various gastric diseases with or without H. pylori infection were obtained and analyzed by immunohistochemistry for Akt, pAkt, Mdm2, p53, and Bax expression. In vitro, human gastric epithelial cells, GES-1, were incubated with H. pylori culture filtrates. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis was evaluated by Annexin V/PI double staining followed by flow cytometry, DNA electrophoresis, and comet assay. mRNA and protein expression was assessed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.

resultsIn patient tissues, H. pylori infection was associated with significantly elevated levels of pAkt in chronic nonatrophic gastritis (CNAG), Mdm2 in dysplasia, p53 in metaplastic atrophy (MA), and Bax in CNAG and MA. In vitro, H. pylori culture filtrates reduced GES-1 cell viability in a time- and dose-dependent manner, induced G0/G1 arrest, triggered apoptosis, and increased DNA fragmentation. Mdm2 and Bax mRNA expression and pAkt, Mdm2, p53, and Bax protein expression were significantly upregulated when treated with H. pylori culture filtrates. Akt inhibition by LY294002 decreased Mdm2 expression, upregulated p53, and enhanced H. pylori-induced growth inhibition of GES-1 cells.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that Akt-Mdm2-p53 signaling is involved in the molecular response of GES-1 cells to H. pylori infection.
