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: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) critically influences prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC), yet the mechanisms driving this process, particularly the contribution of the intratumoral microbiota, remain insufficiently defined. Methods: We performed 16S rRNA sequencing on tumor tissue from a discovery cohort of 122 CRC patients, followed by validation in one internal and one external validation cohort. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence Results: Higher tumor tissue-associated Phascolarctobacterium abundance showed a modest positive association with lymph node metastasis and was associated with worse overall survival in the discovery cohort (HR = 3.892, 95% CI = 1.441-10.513, P = 0.007). These tumors showed exploratory immune-contexture differences, including lower CD8+ T-cell-related signals and higher macrophage/M2 macrophage-related signals. WGCNA identified exploratory abundance-associated modules enriched in keratinocyte differentiation, epithelial development, and MAPK signaling, whereas low-abundance-associated modules were linked to lipid metabolism and redox regulation. Conclusions: Tumor tissue-associated
