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

Bacteria are among the important factors that play a role in the balance of human health, and their relationship with some tumors has been well established. However, the association between bacteria colonizing the vocal cords and glottic laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (GLSCC) remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether bacterial communities of the vocal cord mucous membrane play a role in the development of GLSCC. We collected tumor tissue and normal adjacent tissue (NAT) samples from 19 GLSCC patients, and the bacterial communities were compared with control samples (control) from 21 vocal cord polyps using 16S rRNA high-throughput pyrosequencing. We detected 41 phyla, 93 classes, 188 orders, 373 families, and 829 genera in the vocal cord mucous membrane. A comparison of the bacterial communities in the NAT samples showed higher α-diversity than in the tumor samples. In the tumor samples, seven groups of bacteria, i.e., the phylum Fusobacteria, the class Fusobacteriia, the order Fusobacteriales, the family Fusobacteriaceae, and the genera
