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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health challenge. Emerging research highlights the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in influencing CRC risk, progression, and treatment response. Metagenomic approaches, especially high-throughput shotgun sequencing, have provided unprecedented insights into the intricate connections between the gut microbiome and CRC. By enabling comprehensive taxonomic and functional profiling, metagenomics has revealed microbial signatures, activities, and biomarkers associated with colorectal tumorigenesis. Furthermore, metagenomics has shown a potential to guide patient stratification, predict treatment outcomes, and inform microbiome-targeted interventions. Despite remaining challenges in multi-omics data integration, taxonomic gaps, and validation across diverse cohorts, metagenomics has propelled our comprehension of the intricate gut microbiome-CRC interplay. This review underscores the clinical relevance of microbial signatures as potential diagnostic and prognostic tools in CRC. Furthermore, it discusses personalized treatment strategies guided by this omics' approach.
