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

Liver cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In addition to the lack of effective treatment options, resistance to therapeutic drugs is a major clinical challenge. The gut microbiota has recently been recognized as one of the key factors regulating host health. The microbiota and its metabolites can directly or indirectly regulate gene expression in the liver, leading to gut-liver axis dysregulation, which is closely related to liver cancer occurrence and the treatment response. Gut microbiota disturbance may participate in tumor progression and drug resistance through metabolite production, gene transfer, immune regulation, and other mechanisms. However, systematic reviews on the role of the gut microbiota in drug resistance in liver cancer are lacking. Herein, we review the relationships between the gut microbiota and the occurrence and drug resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma, summarize the emerging mechanisms underlying gut microbiota-mediated drug resistance, and propose new personalized treatment options to overcome this resistance.
