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

Objective: The gut micro-biome plays a pivotal role in the progression of lung cancer. However, the specific mechanisms by which the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites are involved in the lung cancer process remain unclear. Method: Stool samples from 52 patients with lung cancer and 29 healthy control individuals were collected and subjected to 16S rRNA gene amplification sequencing and non-targeted gas/liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics analysis. Then microbiota, metabolites and potential signaling pathways that may play an important role in the disease were filtered. Results: Firmicutes, Clostridia, Bacteroidacea, Bacteroides, and Lachnospira showed a greater abundance in healthy controls. In contrast, the Conclusion: Our study provides essential guidance for a fundamental systematic and multilevel assessment of the contribution of gut micro-biome and their metabolites in lung cancer,which has great potential for understanding the pathogenesis of lung cancer and for better early prevention and targeted interventions.
