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

Gut microbes are important and may play important role in spreading cancers specially the gastrointestinal malignancies preferably colorectal cancers. Gut microbes and diet can influence the tissues in gastrointestinal tract increasing the risk of cancer spread. Insufficient nutrient intake and imbalance diet can disturb the microbiome of gastrointestinal tract causing metabolism of xenobiotics which is beneficial as well as detrimental. Dietary imbalance may also weaken the immune system which is another reason for spreading and development of cancers. The triage of gut microbiome, host immune system, and dietary patterns may help the initiation of mechanism of carcinogenesis. In addition to its role in carcinogenesis and tumor development, there is still growing evidence as to how intestinal microflora influences the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy by the gut microbiome. It can therefore be used as a biomarker to predict treatment response or poor response and can also be modified to improve cancer treatment.
