Figure 3

SLC5A8 expression is decreased in blood samples from infected compared with non-infected children. All four panels show a dot plot overlying a boxplot (showing the median and IQR; points outside the whisker lines are considered outliers, as specified by Turkey's Test). Summary statistics are shown below each panel. (A) mRNA SLC5A8 expression is significantly decreased in blood samples from H. pylori infected compared to non-infected children in the pilot study (Kruskal–Wallis test, P = 0.050). (B) In a blinded case-control study of SLC5A8 expression in blood samples, expression levels are significantly decreased in infected compared to non-infected children (Kruskal–Wallis test, P = 0.002). Four outliers were not shown for space (infected: 42; non-infected: 72, 212, 379). (C) mRNA SLC5A8 expression is decreased in infected and H. pylori seropositive children vs. non-infected, seronegative children (Kruskal–Wallis test, P = 0.002). One outlier was not shown for space (non-infected/seronegative: 378.51) (D) mRNA SLC5A8 expression does not differ (based on the Kruskal–Wallis test) between CagA positive and negative children. One outlier was not shown for space (CagA positive: 42.03).
