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

The European Union-sponsored ONCOBIOME network has spurred an international effort to identify and validate relevant gut microbiota-related biomarkers in oncology, generating a unique and publicly available microbiome resource. ONCOBIOME explores the effects of the microbiota on gut permeability and metabolism as well as on antimicrobial and antitumor immune responses. Methods for the diagnosis of gut dysbiosis have been developed based on oncomicrobiome signatures associated with the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment responses in patients with cancer. The mechanisms explaining how dysbiosis compromises natural or therapy-induced immunosurveillance have been explored. Through its integrative approach of leveraging multiple cohorts across populations, cancer types and stages, ONCOBIOME has laid the theoretical and practical foundations for the recognition of microbiota alterations as a hallmark of cancer. ONCOBIOME has launched microbiota-centered interventions and lobbies in favor of official guidelines for avoiding diet-induced or iatrogenic (for example, antibiotic- or proton pump inhibitor-induced) dysbiosis. Here, we review the key advances of the ONCOBIOME network and discuss the progress toward translating these into oncology clinical practice.
