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

Metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing have shown great potential in elucidating complex mechanisms associated with diseases. Currently, there is little research on the omics of gastric cancer and it lacks effective biomarkers. Objective: Based on plasma metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing to evaluate the changes in metabolites and fecal microbiota of advanced gastric cancer. Method: Firstly, plasma metabolomics was used to screen for differential metabolites and metabolic pathways in gastric cancer. Then, 16S rDNA sequencing was performed on fecal samples to study the differential intestinal microbiota in gastric cancer patients. Finally, conduct a correlation analysis between them. Result: A total of 152 differential metabolites were identified, and we screened 10 of them. All metabolites were enriched into 42 differential metabolic pathways, of which 13 have P values less than 0.05. 16S rDNA sequencing showed significant differences in 4 microbial communities at the phylum level. There are significant differences in 23 communities at the genus level. We focus on Lactobacillales, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Veillonella, Bacilli and Megasphaera. Correlation analysis shows that the intestinal microbiota and plasma metabolites jointly affect the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. Conclusion: For the first time, we comprehensively used plasma metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing to reveal the changes and correlations between metabolites and intestinal microbiota in advanced gastric cancer. We have discovered new potential biomarkers for gastric cancer. This deepens our understanding of the physiological and pathological mechanisms of advanced gastric cancer and helps to improve the diagnosis and treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
