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

The gut microbiome, a diverse community of microorganisms, plays a key role in shaping the host's immune system and modulating cancer therapies. Emerging evidence highlights its critical influence on the efficacy and toxicity of cell-based immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T cell, natural killer cell, and stem cell therapies. This review explores the interplay between gut microbiota and cellular immunotherapies, focusing on mechanisms by which microbial metabolites and microbial composition impact treatment outcomes. Furthermore, we discuss strategies to leverage the gut microbiome to optimize therapeutic efficacy and minimize adverse effects. A deeper understanding of the relationship between the gut microbiome and cellular immunotherapies can pave the way for more effective cell-based therapies for cancer.
