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

Genetically defined in vivo models are needed to assess the importance of target cell attachment in bacterial pathogenesis. Gastric colonization by Helicobacter pylori in human populations is common and persistent, and has various outcomes including peptic ulcers and cancer. The impact of attachment on the course of infection was examined in transgenic mice expressing a human receptor for H. pylori in their gastric epithelium. Persistent infection by a clinical isolate occurred at comparable microbial densities in transgenic and nontransgenic littermates. However, microbial attachment in transgenic mice resulted in production of autoantibodies to Lewisx carbohydrate epitopes shared by bacteria and acid-secreting parietal cells, chronic gastritis, and parietal cell loss. This model should help identify bacterial and host genes that produce attachment-related pathology.
