Clinical strains isolated from early-stage colorectal cancer patients promote tumorigenesis.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is prevalent worldwide and is associated with gut commensals. Recent studies have highlighted the effects of gut microbes on CRC development driven by their strain diversity. Nevertheless, the impact of the gut microbial community on tumorigenesis in early-stage (ES) CRC remains unexplored. Methods: To assess the potential gut microbial community, which is critical to tumorigenesis in early-stage CRC, we collected publicly available shotgun metagenomes from CRC patient faecal samples from a Japanese population. Correlation analysis of the microbial profiles derived from the metagenomes revealed an ES CRC-associated community. To elucidate the strain diversity of the targeted community, we isolated strains from ES CRC patient faecal samples and employed comparative genomics. To evaluate the strain-specific effects of the community on tumorigenesis, we introduced an isolated strain cocktail into a CRC mouse model. Results: Among the most significant ES CRC-associated species, we identified
