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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) development is influenced by both iron and gut microbiota composition. While iron supplementation is routinely used to manage anemia in CRC patients, it may also impact gut microbiota and promote tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the impact of initial gut microbiota composition on iron-promoted tumorigenesis. We performed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in Apc

resultsWe found that iron supplementation promoted CRC and resulted in distinct gut microbiota changes in Apc

conclusionsOur findings suggest that microbiota-targeted interventions may mitigate tumorigenic effects of iron supplementation in anemic patients with CRC.
