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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric cancer belongs to 1 of the 4 subtypes of gastric cancer and accounts for 10% of total gastric cancers. However, most cases of gastric cancer have a history of Helicobacter pylori infection. Therefore, we investigated the possibility that H. pylori infection promotes the development of EBV-associated gastric cancer. H. pylori was exposed to principal EBV receptor, CD21, negative gastric epithelial cells, and then infected with EBV recombinant expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein. Changes in EBV infectivity due to prior H. pylori exposure were analyzed using flow cytometry. The treatment of gastric epithelial cells with H. pylori increased the efficiency of EBV infection. An increase was also observed when CagA-deficient, VacA-deficient, and FlaA-deficient H. pylori strains were used, but not when cag pathogenicity island-deficient H. pylori was used. The treatment of epithelial cells with H. pylori induced the expression of accessory EBV receptors, EphA2 and NMHC-IIA, and increased the efficiency of EBV infection depending on their expression levels. When gastric epithelial cells were treated with EPHA2 or NMHC-IIA siRNA, EBV infection via H. pylori attachment was decreased. The adhesion of H. pylori induced the expression of accessory EBV receptors in gastric epithelial cells and increased the efficiency of EBV infection.
