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

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the correlation between inflammation and gut microbiota characteristics in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) through a retrospective study. Methods: This cross-sectional, non-interventional study included a total of 200 subjects, of which 150 were colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and 50 were healthy individuals. The study retrospectively reviewed hospital and laboratory archives and records from 2015 to 2020. Gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-beta (IL-1β), were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between gut microbiota, inflammatory markers, and CRC. Results: Subjects in the colorectal cancer (CRC) group exhibited a higher proportion of Firmicutes (47.2% Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between changes in gut microbiota composition and cytokine levels with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
