The Role of Xenobiotics and Anelloviruses in Colorectal Cancer: Mechanisms and Perspectives.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Xenobiotics are non-natural chemical compounds to which the human population is exposed. Chronic exposure to certain xenobiotics is associated with various diseases, including cancer development. Anelloviruses (AVs), including Torque Teno Virus (TTV), Torque Teno Mini Virus (TTMV), and Torque Teno Midi Virus (TTMDV), are ubiquitous viruses found in the general population. As no disease has been definitively associated with AVs, they are sometimes referred to as "viruses awaiting a disease". This review explores the potential roles of xenobiotics and AVs in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and suggests a potential interplay between them. Evidence suggests an association between certain xenobiotics (like pesticides, cigarette smoke components, and dietary factors) and CRC, while such an association is less clear for AVs. The high prevalence of AVs suggests these infections alone may be insufficient to disrupt homeostasis; thus, additional factors might be required to promote disease, potentially including cancer.
