Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background: Despite advances in anastomotic techniques and perioperative care, the incidence of anastomotic leak (AL) has not substantially decreased over time. Although it is known that AL etiology is multifactorial and the mechanisms involved remain unclear, there is accumulating evidence pointing at AL related to gut microbiota. Method: We firstly performed a clinical study to analyze the gut microbiota between colorectal cancer patients who developed AL and those who did not (nAL) using 16S-rRNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR to identify AL risk bacterial taxa. Then we built a rat anastomosis model and performed a bacteria transplantation to ensure the cause-effect relationship. The anastomotic healing score was used to evaluate the healing of anastomosis. In addition, we assessed the adhesion ability of bacteria by staining with fluorescein isothiocyanate and attachment assay. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) was detected by western blot, and the activity was detected by gelatin zymography. Results: We found that the abundance and positive rate of Conclusion: This work demonstrates that
