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

We developed a new transport medium (GESA--Helicobacter pylori transport medium [publication no. WO/2014/019696, patent pending no. PCT/EP2013/002292; Liofilchem s.r.l., Roseto degli Abruzzi, Teramo, Italy]) for recovery of Helicobacter pylori from gastric biopsy samples. GESA transport medium, in a semisolid state, provides the optimal conditions for maintaining the viability of the microorganism over time. The efficacy of the transport medium was assessed through in vitro and ex vivo experiments. We were able to recover different suspensions of H. pylori ATCC 43629 and H. pylori 13 A in GESA transport medium stored at 4 °C for up to 10 days. In particular, with a starting inoculum of ∼ 10(5) CFU, after 7 days of storage, 150 ± 25 CFU and 40 ± 7 CFU of the reference and clinical strains were detected, respectively. H. pylori colonies were isolated from gastric specimens taken from both the antrum and the fundus in 68 (90.66%) of 75 urea breath test (UBT)-positive patients. Moreover, GESA transport medium allowed the recovery and isolation of H. pylori colonies from additional biopsy samples from 13 of the 75 detected subjects at up to 10 days of biopsy sample storage at 4 °C. Finally, GESA transport medium preserved its characteristics when stored at 4°C for 1 year from its preparation, thus allowing good recovery of H. pylori. GESA transport medium can be considered a standardized transport medium with high performance that optimizes the recovery rate of H. pylori grown by culture.
