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

backgroundChronic stress is a known risk factor for cancer metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms, particularly those involving the gut microbiota and their metabolites, remain unclear.

objectiveTo investigate whether gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic alterations mediate the sustained pro-metastatic effects of chronic stress, even after normalisation of stress hormone levels.

designMultiple metastatic models were performed after stress cessation. Shotgun metagenomics and metabolomics were performed to assess changes in microbiota and metabolites. The effects of

resultsMice that underwent chronic stress exhibited increased metastasis even after hormone levels recovered. The gut microenvironment was altered, with a significant reduction in

conclusionsChronic stress promotes metastasis by altering microbiota and increasing OA. Targeting
