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

Background: The intestinal flora is correlated with the occurrence of colorectal cancer. We evaluate a new predictive model for the non-invasive diagnosis of colorectal cancer based on intestinal flora to verify the clinical application prospects of the intestinal flora as a new biomarker in non-invasive screening of colorectal cancer. Methods: Subjects from two independent Asian cohorts (cohort I, consisting of 206 colorectal cancer and 112 healthy subjects; cohort II, consisting of 67 colorectal cancer and 54 healthy subjects) were included. A probe-based duplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) determination was established for the quantitative determination of candidate bacterial markers. Results: We screened through the gutMEGA database to identify potential non-invasive biomarkers for colorectal cancer, including Conclusion: Fecal-based colorectal cancer-related bacteria can be used as new non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers of colorectal cancer. Simultaneously, the molecular biomarkers in fecal samples are similar to FIT, have the applicability in combination with other detection methods, which is expected to improve the sensitivity of diagnosis for colorectal cancer, and have a promising prospect of clinical application.
