Microbial Characteristics of Common Tongue Coatings in Patients with Precancerous Lesions of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract.
Article in Journal of healthcare engineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The tongue coating (TC) microbiota, a crucial component of the tongue coating, illustrates a huge microbial percentage of the body that mostly includes actinobacteria, bacteroides, firmicutes, and fusobacteria. The TC microbiota is closely related to the development of upper gastrointestinal malignancies, such as oral, gastric, and esophageal cancer. Nonetheless, the microbiological characteristics of common TCs in individuals with precancerous lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract are still unclear. Herein, we designed a case-control study, recruiting 153 PLUGT patients with four different types of TCs, including 47 white-thin, 19 white-thick, 47 yellow-thin, and 40 yellow-thick, as well as 47 volunteers as controls. To analyze microbial characteristics, 16S rRNA microbiome approaches were used. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to assess serum IL-17A and total bile acid (TBA).
