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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It has been estimated that more than one million new cases occur every year. Several studies have investigated the role of host bacteria as agents protecting against or increasing the risk of CRC, but few have assessed the fungal microbiome in patients with CRC. Fungal dysbiosis has been studied in colorectal diseases (e.g. inflammatory bowel diseases), but few researches compared the fungal microbiome of CRC patients with those of controls. The current study represents a systematic review aimed at assessing the expression and diversity of fungi in patients with CRC and non-CRC individuals. Here, we discuss the fungal species that could be implied in CRC development and alterations that can be induced by the presence of CRC, and the potential implications for future research.
