Differences in tissue-associated bacteria between metastatic and non-metastatic colorectal cancer.

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 and aims: Accumulated evidence indicates that the intestinal microbiota plays crucial roles in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the effects of the tissue-associated microbiota on CRC metastasis are poorly defined. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in bacteria between metastatic and non-metastatic CRC tissues and identify potential bacterial species that associate with CRC metastasis. Methods: 16S rDNA amplicon high-throughput sequencing was used to test the intestinal tissue-associated microbiota in patients with metastatic CRC ( Results: The α- or β-diversity of microbial community between the metastatic and non-metastatic CRC groups did not exhibit significant differences. However, some bacterial abundances between two groups showed significant differences. At the phylum level, Bacteroidota and Desulfobacterota were significantly higher in the metastatic group than in the non-metastatic group, while Proteobacteria was significantly decreased in the metastatic group. At the genus level, Conclusion: The bacterial composition of tumor and tumor adjacent tissue from the metastatic CRC group was different from that of the non-metastatic CRC group; in particular,
