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

Objective: Our research has pinpointed the gut microbiome's role in the progression of various pathological types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nonetheless, the characteristics of the gut microbiome and its metabolites across different clinical stages of NSCLC are yet to be fully understood. The current study seeks to explore the distinctive gut flora and metabolite profiles of NSCLC patients across varying TNM stages. Methods: The research team gathered stool samples from 52 patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 29 healthy individuals. Subsequently, they performed 16S rRNA gene amplification sequencing and untargeted gas/liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics analysis. Results: The study revealed that the alpha-diversity of the gut microbiome in NSCLC patients at different stages did not exhibit statistically significant differences. Notably, Conclusion: Compared to the analysis of a single microbial dataset, this study provides deeper functional insights by incorporating comprehensive metabolomic profiling. This approach demonstrates that both the gut microbiome and associated metabolites are altered in NSCLC patients across different clinical stages. Our findings may offer novel perspectives on the pathogenesis of NSCLC at various TNM stages. Further research is warranted to validate and clinically apply these potential biomarkers.
