The multifaceted role of microbiota in liver cancer: pathogenesis, therapy, prognosis, and immunotherapy.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Accumulating evidence suggests that the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is intricately associated with dynamic alterations in microbiota composition. Disruption of gut microbial homeostasis enables pathogenic gut bacteria to translocate to the liver via the gut-liver axis, where they modulate the tumor microenvironment to promote HCC development. Also, they are associated with anti-tumor immune responses. Studies have confirmed that the microbiota exhibits potential as a biomarker for predicting immunotherapy responses, and its can improve clinical efficacy in the treatment of HCC.This review systematically evaluates current evidence elucidating the regulatory mechanisms by which the microbiota governs the progression of HCC, and explores its synergistic interactions with therapeutic strategies for HCC.
