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

Microorganisms in the human body play crucial roles in various health and disease processes. Research indicates that diverse bacterial species are implicated in numerous cancer types. Apart from its involvement in cancer initiation and progression, the microbiome holds promise as a biomarker for diagnosing cancer, assessing risk, and determining prognosis. Intratumoral microbes profoundly impact tumor biology by regulating the initiation and progression of tumors and modulating their response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. A deeper understanding of the role of the intratumoral microbiome in cancer requires further investigation into its effects and underlying mechanisms. This review delves into the significance of intratumoral bacteria in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis, their impact on cancer treatment outcomes, and Approaches Employed for Profiling the Intratumoral Microbiome.
