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

Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that the essence of life is the ecological balance of the neural, endocrine, metabolic, microbial, and immune systems. Gut microbiota have been implicated as an important factor affecting thyroid homeostasis. Objectives: This study aims to explore the relationship between gut microbiota and the development of thyroid carcinoma. Methods: Stool samples were collected from 90 thyroid carcinoma patients (TCs) and 90 healthy controls (HCs). Microbiota were analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. A cross-sectional study of an exploratory cohort of 60 TCs and 60 HCs was conducted. The gut microbiota signature of TCs was established by LEfSe, stepwise logistic regression, lasso regression, and random forest model analysis. An independent cohort of 30 TCs and 30 HCs was used to validate the findings. Functional prediction was achieved using Tax4Fun and PICRUSt2. TC patients were subsequently divided into subgroups to analyze the relationship between microbiota and metastatic lymphadenopathy. Results: In the exploratory cohorts, TCs had reduced richness and diversity of gut microbiota compared to HCs. No significant difference was found between TCs and HCs on the phylum level, though 70% of TCs had increased levels of Conclusion: Our study shows that thyroid carcinoma patients demonstrate significant changes in gut microbiota, which will help delineate the relationship between gut microbiota and TC pathogenesis.
