Clinical significance of serum Helicobacter pylori antibody cytotoxin-associated gene A levels in patients with unstable angina.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesWe investigated the clinical significance of serum Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) antibody levels in 768 patients with unstable angina (UA).
methodsSerum CagA levels were measured using ELISA. Demographic data, serum biomarkers, and SYNTAX scores were collected. Patients were followed up for 1 year for major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
resultsCagA-positive UA patients had higher total cholesterol and hsCRP levels, and SYNTAX scores. CagA levels correlated positively with TC, hsCRP, and SYNTAX scores. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed shorter MACE-free survival in CagA-positive UA patients. CagA levels predicted MACE occurrence within 1 year, along with SYNTAX scores.
conclusionsSerum H. pylori CagA antibody positivity is associated with worse prognosis in UA patients. CagA levels correlate with lipid metabolism and inflammatory markers.
