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

backgroundEmerging evidence links gut microbiota to various human diseases including colorectal cancer (CRC) initiation and development. However, gut microbiota profiles associated with CRC recurrence and patient prognosis are not completely understood yet, especially in a Chinese cohort.

aimTo investigate the relationship between gut mucosal microbiota profiles and CRC recurrence and patient prognosis.

methodsWe obtained the composition and structure of gut microbiota collected from 75 patients diagnosed with CRC and 26 healthy controls. The patients were followed up by regular examination to determine whether tumors recurred. Triplet-paired samples from on-tumor, adjacent-tumor and off-tumor sites of patients diagnosed with/without CRC recurrence were analyzed to assess spatial-specific patterns of gut mucosal microbiota by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. Next, we carried out bioinformatic analyses, Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and Cox regression analyses to determine the relationship between gut mucosal microbiota profiles and CRC recurrence and patient prognosis.

resultsWe observed spatial-specific patterns of gut mucosal microbiota profiles linked to CRC recurrence and patient prognosis. A total of 17 bacterial genera/families were identified as potential biomarkers for CRC recurrence and patient prognosis, including

conclusionOur work suggests that intestinal microbiota can serve as biomarkers to predict the risk of CRC recurrence and patient death.
