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
Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach and induces an inflammatory response that can develop into gastric pathologies including cancer. The infection can alter the gastric vasculature by the deregulation of angiogenic factors and microRNAs. In this study, we investigate the expression level of pro-angiogenic genes (ANGPT2, ANGPT1, receptor TEK), and microRNAs (miR-135a, miR-200a, miR-203a) predicted to regulate those genes, using H. pylori co-cultures with gastric cancer cell lines. In vitro infections of different gastric cancer cell lines with H. pylori strains were performed, and the expression of ANGPT1, ANGPT2, and TEK genes, and miR-135a, miR-200a, and miR-203a, was quantified after 24 h of infection (h.p.i.). We performed a time course experiment of H. pylori 26695 infections in AGS cells at 6 different time points (3, 6, 12, 28, 24, and 36 h.p.i.). The angiogenic response induced by supernatants of non-infected and infected cells at 24 h.p.i. was evaluated in vivo, using the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. In response to infection, ANGPT2 mRNA was upregulated at 24 h.p.i, and miR-203a was downregulated in AGS cells co-cultured with different H. pylori strains. The time course of H. pylori 26695 infection in AGS cells showed a gradual decrease of miR-203a expression concomitant with an increase of ANGPT2 mRNA and protein expression. Expression of ANGPT1 and TEK mRNA or protein could not be detected in any of the infected or non-infected cells. CAM assays showed that the supernatants of AGS-infected cells with 26695 strain induced a significantly higher angiogenic and inflammatory response. Our results suggest that H. pylori could contribute to the process of carcinogenesis by downregulating miR-203a, which further promotes angiogenesis in gastric mucosa by increasing ANGPT2 expression. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
