Intratumoral Microbiome in Head and Neck Paragangliomas.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are rare neoplasms arising from paraganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system. HNPGLs are characterized by high vascularity and are located in proximity to major vessels and nerves, which may be potential sources of microbial invasion in these tumors. There have been no studies in the literature on the microbiota in HNPGLs. Investigation of the microbiome associated with paragangliomas is important for understanding tumor pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the microbiome composition in two sets of HNPGLs. First, 29 fresh frozen (FF) tissues were subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing; concurrently, a panel of candidate laboratory-derived contaminants was investigated. Second, we analyzed microbial reads from whole transcriptome sequencing data obtained for 82 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) HNPGLs. The bacterial diversity in FF tumors was found to be significantly lower than that observed in FFPE HNPGLs. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, only seven bacterial families were identified as potential tumor inhabitants:
