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

Gut microbiota and systemic metabolites are critical for breast cancer progression and therapeutic response. This study investigated gut microbiota and metabolic profiles of breast cancer patients before and after adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET). Using 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics, we identified significant disruptions in microbial diversity and metabolic pathways. Alpha diversity was reduced in pre-AET patients, with partial restoration observed post-AET. Key genera, such as
