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: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, with its etiology attributed to a complex interplay of genetic, dietary, environmental factors, and infections such as Methods: Utilizing genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data from the MiBioGen consortium and gastric cancer datasets, we selected instrumental variables for MR analysis based on their association with specific microbiota. We employed several MR methods, including inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, and others, to estimate the causal effects of gut microbiota diversity on the risk of developing gastric cancer. Results: Our analysis identified significant associations between certain gut microbiota and gastric cancer risk. Specifically, taxa such as Conclusion: Our studies have shown that there is a causal relationship between intestinal flora and gastric cancer at the genetic level.
