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

backgroundLack of a model that mirrors Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric mucosal inflammation has hampered investigation of early host-bacterial interactions. We used an ex vivo model of human stomach, gastric epithelial organoid monolayers (gastroid monolayers) to investigate interactions of H pylori infection and the apical junctional complex and interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression.

methodMorphology of human antral mucosal gastroid monolayers was evaluated using histology, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Functional and gross changes in the apical junctional complexes were assessed using transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), cytotoxicity assays, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. IL-8 expression was evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA.

resultsWhen evaluated by IHC and TEM, the morphology of gastroid monolayers closely resembled in vivo human stomach. Following inoculation of H pylori, TEER transiently declined (up to 51%) in an H pylori density-dependent manner. TEER recovered by 48 hours post-infection and remained normal despite continued presence and replication of H pylori. Confocal scanning microscopy showed minimal disruption of zonula occludens-1 or E-cadherin structure. IL-8 production was unchanged by infection with either CagA-positive or CagA-negative H pylori and JNK and MEK inhibitors did not suppress IL-8 production, whereas p38 and IKK inhibitor significantly did.

conclusionHuman gastroid monolayers provide a model for experimental H pylori infection more consistent with in vivo human infections than seen with typical gastric epithelial cell lines. This ex vivo system should lead to better understanding of H pylori host-pathogen interactions.
