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

Antibiotics remain the recommended first-line therapy for eradicating Helicobacter pylori infection. However, the harsh gastric physicochemical environment severely limits drug bioavailability, contributing to treatment failure (~10%), gut dysbiosis, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Inspired by H. pylori adhesins binding to gastric epithelial glycan, we developed a biomimetic nanocomposite drug delivery system (BSNG) composed of genetically engineered adhesin-functionalized silk fibroin nanoparticles (BS-NPs) embedded within a fluid silk fibroin hydrogel (FSF-Gel) for targeted anti-H. pylori therapy. BS-NPs exhibit H. pylori-like adhesion to gastric epithelial cells, enabling prolonged gastric retention of over 72 h. FSF-Gel provides conformal coverage of the gastric mucus layer and supports sustained antibiotic release, and prevents acid-induced aggregation of the encapsulated BS-NPs. Upon gastric administration, amoxicillin-loaded BSNG (BSNG@Amo) significantly enhanced both peak drug concentrations and extended therapeutic retention in gastric tissue. In vivo antibacterial studies confirmed that BSNG@Amo achieved superior H. pylori eradication compared to conventional amoxicillin at equivalent doses. Notably, reduced-frequency BSNG@Amo administration maintained therapeutic efficacy while markedly preserving gut microbiota homeostasis. These results highlight BSNG as a precise, long-acting, and microbiota-sparing platform for sustainable gastric antibiotic delivery.
