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
Introduction: Gastrectomy serves as a primary treatment for gastric cancer, a leading global malignancy, and affects significant physiological and anatomical changes in the digestive tract. Recent studies highlight the critical role of gastrointestinal microbiota in postoperative health following digestive tract surgeries, including gastrectomy. These alterations possibly impact the gut microbiota and affect patient health by influencing the bacterial environment in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the relationships between the gastrointestinal tract and the oral, gastric, and gut microbiota after gastrectomy are not clear. In this study, we aimed to characterize alterations in the gut microbiota due to gastrectomy and evaluate whether these alterations are associated with the oral and gastric microbiota. Methods: Saliva, gastric fluid, and stool samples were collected from patients diagnosed with primary gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy at two time points, before and 6 months after gastrectomy. Next, 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis was performed. Diversity and linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analyses of each microbiota were conducted before and after gastrectomy to compare alterations in the gut, oral, and gastric microbiota. Results: The diversity of gut microbiota increased after gastrectomy compared to that before gastrectomy (Shannon index, Discussion: We characterized gut microbiota alterations caused by gastrectomy and demonstrated their relationship with changes in oral and gastric microbiota, thereby elucidating interactions between the gastrointestinal tract microbiota in response to changes in the gastric environment.
