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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumors globally, posing significant health risks and societal burdens. Recently, advancements in next-generation sequencing technology have identified CRC intratumoral microbiota, thereby opening up novel avenues for further research. This review synthesizes the current advancements in CRC intratumoral microbiota and their impact on CRC progression and discusses the disparities in the relative abundance and community composition of CRC intratumoral microbiota across various colorectal tumors based on their anatomical location and molecular subtypes, as well as the tumor stages, and spatial tumor distribution. Intratumoral microbiota predominantly influence CRC development by modulating colonic epithelial cells, tumor cells, and the tumor microenvironment. Mechanistically, they can cause DNA damage, apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The effects of different intratumoral microbiota on CRC have been shown to be two-fold. In the future, to address the limitations of existing studies, it is important to develop comprehensive experimental protocols and suitable in vitro models for elucidating more mechanisms of intratumoral microbiota on CRC, which will facilitate the clinical application of microbe-related therapeutic strategies in CRC and potentially other tumors.
