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

The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of interleukin (IL)-6 190C/T, IL-6 174G/C, IL-6 572G/C, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) 308G/A, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D gene polymorphisms on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in children.A cross-sectional study was performed on 126 children (57 children with H. pylori infection and 69 children without H. pylori infection) aged between 3 and 18 years presenting to a Pediatrics Tertiary Hospital from Romania. Children were assessed clinically, endoscopically, histopathologically, and genetically.In our study, we found that the presence of the CT and CT+TT genotypes of IL-6 190C/T (P < .002 and P = .04), allele G of IL-6 572 G/C polymorphism (P = .01), genotypes GA and AA of TNF-α 308 G/A polymorphism (P = .04, P = .01), and genotype II of ACE I/D polymorphism (P = .02) were associated with H. pylori infection, while the CC genotype of IL-6 174G/C polymorphism was scarcely encountered in children with H. pylori infection [P = .02, odds ratio (OR) = 0.06; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.003-0.128]. Taking under consideration the 4 variant genotypes (IL-6 572G/C, IL-6 190C/T, TNF-α 308G/A, and ACE I/D), we noticed a 2 times higher incidence of H. pylori infection (OR = 6.34; 95% CI: 2.15-25.8).We may consider that the IL-6 190C/T, IL-6 174G/C, IL-6 572G/C, TNF-α 308G/A, and ACE I/D gene polymorphisms may increase the children's susceptibility for acquiring H. pylori infection; therefore, they may contribute to the pathogenesis of H. pylori gastritis.
