Pan-Cancer Insights: A Study of Microbial Metabolite Receptors in Malignancy Dynamics.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe role of the gut microbiome in cancer biology has become an increasingly prominent area of research, particularly regarding the role of microbial metabolites and their receptors (MMRs). These metabolites, through the various gut-organ axes, have been proven to influence several pathogenetic mechanisms. This study conducted a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of MMR transcriptomic profiles across twenty-three cancer types, exploring the mechanisms through which they can influence cancer development and progression.
methodsUtilizing both cancer cell lines from CCLE (Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia) and human tumor samples from TCGA (The Cancer Gene Atlas), we analyzed 107 MMRs interacting with microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, indole derivatives, and others while studying their interactions with key known cancer genes.
resultsOur results revealed that certain MMRs, such as
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the interactions between microbial metabolites and MMRs may serve as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy, highlighting their therapeutic potential. This study underscores the significance of the microbiota-cancer axis and provides novel insights into microbiome-based strategies for cancer treatment.
