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.
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
Introduction: Colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) is the leading cause of death in colorectal cancer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) promotes CRLM. Methods: An NAFLD mouse model was established, followed by prophylactic oral administration of LBPs by gavage for 28 days before splenic injection of MC38 colorectal cancer cells to establish liver metastasis. Pseudo-germ-free mice combined with fecal microbiota transplantation were constructed to explore the role of the gut microbiota in the preventive effect of LBPs on CRLM. Gut microbiota and fecal short-chain fatty acids were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between bacterial genera and liver lipid metabolism indicators. Serum non-targeted metabolomic profiling and transcriptomic analysis of CRLM cells were performed to elucidate metabolic and molecular mechanisms. Results: Under NAFLD conditions, LBPs markedly reduced hepatic metastatic burden, liver weight, and liver-to-body weight ratio. LBPs ameliorated hepatic lipid metabolism and restored colonic barrier integrity in NAFLD mice. The gut microbiota was identified as a critical mediator of LBPs-induced protection against CRLM, and depletion of the microbiota completely abrogated the anti-metastatic effects of LBPs. LBPs enhanced microbial diversity and richness, enriched of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacterial genera, such as Discussion: LBPs prevent CRLM associated with NAFLD by modulating the gut microbiota, enhancing butyrate production, improving hepatic metabolic homeostasis, and suppressing prometastatic signaling pathways. These findings highlight LBPs as promising preventive agents against CRLM in the setting of metabolic liver disease.
