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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multifactorial disease increasingly recognized for its complex interplay with the gut microbiota. The disruption of microbial homeostasis-dysbiosis-has profound implications for intestinal barrier integrity and host immune function. Pathogenic bacterial species such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, Escherichia coli harboring polyketide synthase (pks) island, and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis are implicated in CRC through mechanisms involving mucosal inflammation, epithelial barrier disruption, and immune evasion. These pathogens promote pro-tumorigenic inflammation, enhance DNA damage, and suppress effective anti-tumor immunity. Conversely, commensal and probiotic bacteria, notably Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, exert protective effects by preserving epithelial barrier function and priming host immune responses. These beneficial microbes can promote the maturation of dendritic cells, stimulate CD8
