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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy have improved outcomes for advanced gastric cancer, yet only a subset of patients derive benefit, and the contribution of the gut microbiome remains incompletely defined. To identify microbial signatures associated with chemoimmunotherapy response, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on 90 fecal samples collected from 30 patients at baseline, one month after treatment initiation, and at the end of therapy. Patients were stratified by RECIST1.1 criteria into partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD). While overall microbial composition and alpha diversity remained stable over time, immunotherapy enriched Lachnospiraceae and Bacteroidaceae. Notably, baseline microbiota differed significantly among response groups: Senegalimassilia and Lactobacillus were overrepresented in PR patients, whereas Parvimonas, Intestinibacter, and Catenibacterium characterized the SD and PD groups. By integrating public databases, we constructed microbe-metabolite-target and microbe-host interaction networks, indicating that response-associated genera may modulate host genes such as IFNG, IL12B, CXCL6, and DUOX2, thereby influencing CD8
