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

Gut microbiota and intratumoral microbiota have been recognized as critical regulators of tumor initiation and progression, with their metabolites exerting multifaceted effects on cancer development. This review systematically summarizes the roles and mechanistic classifications of microbial metabolites in tumor metabolic reprogramming, highlighting three principal regulatory layers: direct modulation of metabolic enzyme activity, regulation via signaling pathways, and immunometabolic modulation. Furthermore, it discusses the potential of microbial metabolites in regulating immune cell metabolism and enhancing immunotherapeutic efficacy, alongside summarizing the progress of relevant clinical studies. Finally, the review emphasizes that despite significant advances, current research still faces multiple challenges. Future investigations integrating cutting-edge technologies are essential to accelerate the translation of fundamental findings into clinical applications and to promote the development of metabolite-centered precision therapeutic strategies.
