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

Respiratory diseases pose a significant global public health challenge. Extensive research indicates that respiratory conditions are influenced by lung microbiota; however, the relationships between alterations in pulmonary microbiota and various respiratory diseases remain unclear. This study explores the characteristics and distinctions of lung microbial communities in patients with lung cancer (LC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The research involved 114 patients and employed culturomics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples. Through culturomics, 168 bacterial species were identified, with variations in bacterial profiles observed across the different diseases. Sequencing results indicated that the dominant phyla among the three groups were
