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

introductionPathogens, including Helicobacter pylori (Hp), have been suggested to contribute to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), although the evidence still remains insufficient. The study was focused on the exposure of CHD patients to Hp and resulting anti-Hp heat shock protein B HspB antibody production in relation to the level of serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) as a marker of inflammation. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred seventy CHD patients and 58 non-CHD individuals participated in this study. Coronary angiography confirmed the atheromatic background of CHD. The panel of classical risk factors included: arterial hypertension, diabetes, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, obesity and nicotinism. The Hp status was estimated by (13)C urea breath test and serology. Immunoblot and ELISA were used for screening the sera samples for anti-Hp HspB immunoglobulins (Igs) and LBP.

resultsCoronary heart disease patients were exposed to Hp more frequently than non-CHD individuals. This was associated with increased levels of specific anti-Hp IgG2 and IgA as well as total IgA. Hp infected CHD and non-CHD donors produced anti-Hp HspB IgG cross-reacting with human Hsp 60. In CHD patients the LBP level was significantly higher in comparison to non-CHD donors. This was related to the severity of the disease. Type I Hp strains stimulated higher LBP levels than less pathogenic type II isolates.

conclusionsLipopolysaccharide binding protein secreted in excess together with anti-Hp HspB, cross-reacting with human Hsp60, may increase the risk of vascular pathologies in Hp-exposed CHD patients.
