Analysis of Gut Microbiota as a Diagnostic Biomarker for Lung Adenocarcinoma with Qi-Deficiency and Phlegm-Turbid Stagnation.

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
backgroundIn Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD), Qi-deficiency and Phlegm-turbid stagnation (QP) are the most prevalent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome.
methodsHerein, we collected 90 fecal samples (Healthy individual (H): 30; other syndrome (O): 30; QP: 30) and explored the composition and diversity of gut microbiota in LUAD patients with QP syndrome using 16s-rRNA sequencing. Then, we identified biomarkers for QP syndrome in LUAD patients with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) and applied logistic regression analysis to construct a diagnostic model evaluated with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and validated with data from metagenomics.
resultsThe α diversity and β diversity revealed that the microbiota community structure in LUAD patients with QP syndrome was different from that with healthy individuals and LUAD patients with other syndromes. At the phylum level, the QP group had more abundance of Bacteroidetes and less Proteobacteria than the O group. At the genus level, the abundance of 4 genera (Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, Prevotella, and Flavonifractor) was different between the QP group and O group. Moreover, LEfSe indicated that those 4 genera might be the biomarkers for LUAD patients with QP syndrome. Then, we used those 4 genera to develop a diagnostic model. The AUC based on 16s-rRNA sequencing and metagenomics was 0.989 and 1, respectively.
conclusionA diagnostic model was developed, which would be an available tool for the clinical diagnosis of LUAD with QP syndrome.
