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

Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD), common in shift work and jet lag, promotes mammary tumorigenesis through coordinated reprogramming of tumor metabolism and the local microbiome. CRD increased immunosuppressive metabolites - kynurenic acid, spermidine, and argininosuccinic acid - that suppressed effector T-cell activity and drove macrophage polarization toward anti-inflammatory phenotypes. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed enrichment of immune-modulatory Firmicutes and Bacilli within CRD tumors. Experimental and multi-omics integrative analyses strongly support metabolome-microbiome crosstalk driving immune suppression under CRD. Inhibition of arginase-1 (ARG1) with nor-NOHA restored cytotoxic T-cell responses and reduced lung metastases. These findings establish metabolome-microbiome interactions as a central mechanism of CRD-induced immunosuppression and metastasis, revealing potential therapeutic targets for circadian disruption-associated breast cancer.
