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

Objective: To define stage-specific cervical canal microbiota signatures across the continuum of gynecologic malignancies from benign endometrial cancer (BE)/cervical cancer precancerous lesions (CIN) to endometrial cancer (EC)/cervical cancers (CC), and to evaluate their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Methods: In the observational study, metagenomic sequencing was employed to investigate the cervical canal microbiota of 45 patients, including BE, EC, CIN, and CC. Specimen collection was performed by an experienced physician. All samples were sequenced utilizing the shotgun approach. The microbial statistical analyses were conducted using R. Results: Compared to the non-cancerous group (BE and CIN), the index related to microbial community stability decreases significantly and the incidence of cervical canal dysbiosis increases in the cancerous group (EC and CC). Microbial diversity exhibited significant differences between BE and EC, CIN and CC, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous groups. At the species level, some species were significantly decreased (eg, Conclusion: The cervical canal represents a distinct microbial niche, with its dysbiotic progression reflecting the trajectory of oncogenic transformation. The progression from non-cancerous to cancerous states is characterized by the replacement of the vaginal microbial community, which is dominated by
