Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04223102 (Rectal Microbiome Variability Among Rectal Cancer Cohorts Including Complete Clinical Responders, Pathologic Responders, and Early Recurrence), which is not on this map. Cited by 46 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the microbiota community structure, assess differences in intestinal bacterial types, and identify metagenomic biomarkers for disparate stages of colorectal cancer formation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 160 individuals were recruited: 61 cases with non-tumor colon were regarded as the normal group, 47 cases with histology-substantiated colorectal adenomas were regarded as the adenoma group, and 52 cases with invasive adenocarcinomas were regarded as the cancer group. Biopsy on the mucosa was performed on each subject. USEARCH was used to process the sequences data and generate OTUs. Gut mucosal microbiota from healthy controls, adenoma patients, and carcinoma patients were analyzed. RESULTS Principal coordinate analysis of unweighted and weighted UniFrac distance showed a separation in composition of microbiota in the 3 groups. Bacteria with potential tumorigenesis, like Bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterium, were more common in the carcinoma group, while some SCFA (short chain fatty acids) - producing microbes were enriched in the normal group. The commensal Escherichia were more abundant in adenoma patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides insights into possible function of gut microbiota in diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Some bacteria, such as Butyricicoccus, E. coli, and Fusobacterium, can be used as potential biomarkers for normal, adenoma, and cancer groups, respectively.
