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 gut microbiota is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. However, the characteristics of gut microbiota associated with ovarian tumors remain elusive. In this study, fecal samples were collected from healthy control (HC) group and patients with ovarian tumor (OT) or with other benign tumor (OBT) for 16s rRNA sequencing to determine differential flora in gut microbiota. The composition of gut microbiota in the OT group, including bacterial abundance and diversity, was significantly different form HC and OBT groups. In the OT group, Escherichia_Shigella was markedly higher than in the HC group, while Coprococcus, Fusicatenibacter, Butyricicoccus and Oscillibacter were significantly lower than in HCs. The abundance of Fusicatenibacter, Butyricicoccus, Coprococcus Parasutterella, and Anaerotruncus in the OBT group was distinctly higher than that in the OT group, while the Lachnospiracae_ND3007_group was significantly lower. In addition, in OT patients, ovarian cancer (OC) and benign ovarian tumor (BOT) patients also showed a unique composition of gut microbiota. The random forest model was designed using different bacteria. Compared with HCs, area under curve (AUC) values for BOT and OC groups were 0.77 and 0.86, respectively. These findings suggest that some gut microbiota such as Escherichia_Shigella show a certain ability to distinguish between healthy individuals and patients with OT.
