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

Background: Oral dysbiosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Our study aimed to perform a pairwise comparison of the oral microbiota, especially the bacteriome, from OSCC tumoral surface vs other oral samples and evaluate the association of a novel bacteriome-based Oral Dysbiosis Index (bbODI) with the OSCC surface. Materials and methods: This pilot observational study used 84 patient-matched samples from the OSCC tumoral surface (swabs and biopsies), healthy oral mucosa (tongue and buccal swabs), and supragingival dental plaque swabs. Bacteriomes were analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The presence of microscopic fungi and selected viruses was also evaluated. Results: The relative abundance of the genus Conclusions: Certain characteristics of the bacteriome composition of the OSCC surface differ from patient-matched samples of healthy oral mucosa and supragingival dental plaque. The proposed bbODI appears to be a promising non-invasive tool for the identification of bacteriome disruption on the OSCC surface.
