Leveraging Microorganisms to Combat Skin Cancer.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. 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
Skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma types, presents a significant and growing global health challenge due to its increasing incidence and mortality rates. While conventional treatments such as surgical excision, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies are well-established, microorganism-based approaches represent an innovative and promising alternative. These therapies employ live, genetically engineered, or commensal bacteria, viral vectors, or bacterial components to achieve various therapeutic mechanisms, including tumor targeting, immune system modulation, vascular disruption, competitive exclusion, drug delivery, and direct oncolysis. Despite their potential, these approaches require further investigation to address safety concerns, optimize treatment protocols, and gain a comprehensive understanding of their long-term outcomes.
