Recent advancements in the exploitation of the gut microbiome in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
Review in Bioscience reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Over the last few decades it has been established that the complex interaction between the host and the multitude of organisms that compose the intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human metabolic health and disease. Whilst there is no defined consensus on the composition of a healthy microbiome due to confounding factors such as ethnicity, geographical locations, age and sex, there are undoubtably populations of microbes that are consistently dysregulated in gut diseases including colorectal cancer (CRC). In this review, we discuss the most recent advances in the application of the gut microbiota, not just bacteria, and derived microbial compounds in the diagnosis of CRC and the potential to exploit microbes as novel agents in the management and treatment of CRC. We highlight examples of the microbiota, and their derivatives, that have the potential to become standalone diagnostic tools or be used in combination with current screening techniques to improve sensitivity and specificity for earlier CRC diagnoses and provide a perspective on their potential as biotherapeutics with translatability to clinical trials.
