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

Altered gut microbiota has evidenced to be associated with colitis and colonic tumorigenesis, however bacteria-driven mechanism underlying inflammation-related colon pathologies remains undetermined. This study identifies a previously overlooked genus, Megasphaera, is highly abundant in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) cohorts. A Megasphaera species, M. elsdenii reshapes colonic immunity by triggering dendritic cell (DC)-mediated Th1 and Th17 inflammation. Mechanistically, M. elsdenii and its lipopolysaccharide triggers DC activation via TLR4/NF-κB/IRF4 pathway. Accordingly, in Tlr4
