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

In recent years, research into the background of carcinogenic processes has increasingly focused on the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in tumorigenesis. In addition to the presence of tumor cells and non-malignant components, which include immune cells, extracellular matrix elements, stroma, and endothelial cells, the microbiome is now increasingly being classified as an integral part of the TME. The establishment of the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) in 2007 along with the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques proved to be a breakthrough in terms of human microbiota research, shedding new light on the existing knowledge of microorganisms inhabiting various niches of the human body and their functions. Emerging scientific evidence from preclinical and clinical studies indicates significant differences in the microbiome composition between tumor tissues and benign controls. The presence of specific pathogenic strains within a tissue may play a key role in the initiation and progression of inflammation, which not only may be directly responsible for the stimulation of tumorigenic processes but may also affect the destabilization of the host genome, causing significant disruption of its metabolism. The role of microorganisms in the induction and promotion of pathological processes, including cancer, has been confirmed in many studies to date. Recent years of research on the microbiota of the female reproductive tract (FRT) have not only indicated that the endometrium has its unique microbial composition but have also made it possible to point out differences in composition between the microbiome of healthy and tumor-lesioned tissue, suggesting a potential role for dysbiotic disorders in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer (EC). In this review, we aim to highlight the complex interplay between bacterial interactions and host immunity, and how this phenomenon contributes to the development and progression of endometrial cancer.
