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

Colibactin is a genotoxic secondary metabolite produced by certain IMPORTANCE: Colibactin has been implicated as a causative agent of colorectal cancer. However, colibactin-producing bacteria are also present in many healthy individuals, leading to the hypothesis that some aspects of colibactin regulation or host response dictate the molecule's carcinogenic potential. Elucidating the host-response pathways involved in dictating cell fate after colibactin intoxication has been difficult, partially due to an inability to isolate the molecule. This study provides the first high-throughput CRISPR/Cas9 screening to identify genes conferring colibactin sensitivity. Here, we utilize both bacterial infection and a synthetic colibactin analog to identify genes directly involved in colibactin response. These findings provide insight into how differences in gene expression may render certain individuals more vulnerable to colibactin-initiated tumor formation after DNA damage.
