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

Emerging evidence suggests that microbiota dysbiosis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer (EC), a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. However, few studies have simultaneously examined both the upper and lower genital tract microbiota in such individuals. In this study, we investigated alterations in microbiota composition across different parts of the female genital tract in a Chinese cohort of EC patients. Samples from 59 individuals (22 endometrial cancer patients; 8 endometrial hyperplasia patients, and 29 benign controls) were collected. In addition, a total of 58 vaginal swabs, 39 fallopian swabs, 16 peritoneal fluid samples, 36 urine swabs, and 34 endometrium samples were finally recruited. The composition of bacterial communities was determined by 16S ribosomal RNA Miseq sequencing. Specific taxa were significantly enriched in the EC group, including
