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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveAn outer membrane protein (OMP) of Helicobacter pylori namely OipA, is an important virulence factor associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer risks. The purpose of this study was to isolate the 34 KDa OMP of H. pylori and evaluate its immunogenicity in experimental animals for rapid detection of more virulent H. pylori isolates. MATERIAL AND
methodsSarcosine insoluble fraction of membrane proteins (OMPs) were prepared from 15 clinical isolates of H. pylori and their profiles were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Two out of 15 isolates which demonstrated higher expression for apparent 34 KDa proteins were selected. Under optimal conditions, 34 KDa protein was recovered from 5% SDS-Agarose gel, purified and injected into the New Zealand white rabbits with Fruend's adjuvant in multiple stages with two weeks intervals. Collected antiserum was purified through affinity chromatography with Sepharose column and its titer was determined by ELISA. Specific immune response was demonstrated by Dot blot and western blotting methods.
resultsThe titer of antibody was determined about 1/3000 and western blotting demonstrated a 34 KD-protein. Screening of various strains by Dot blot method for its presence showed that its expression was more frequent in strains isolated from the patients with more severe pathology.
conclusionHigh titer obtained for pAbs antibody, suggested the high immunogenicity of this protein in experimental animals. Detection of 34 KDa OMP in strains isolated from the patients with more severe pathology proposes the possible application of this pAbs in detecting more virulent strains of H. pylori.
