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

Colitis-associated cancer (CAC) is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent evidence has indicated that Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) may promote intestinal inflammation and carcinogenesis. However, the effects of F. nucleatum on the cancerous transformation of IBD, along with its underlying mechanisms, remain poorly understood. Our findings revealed that F. nucleatum was enriched in 57.1% of CAC tissues, which was higher than that in ulcerative colitis (UC, 53.0%), Crohn's disease (CD, 55.6%), and colorectal cancer (CRC, 53.7%) tissues. Furthermore, we demonstrated that F. nucleatum modulated nicotinamide (NAM) metabolism to promote the proliferation of CAC. Mechanistically, F. nucleatum upregulated NNMT to increase PARP1 expression, thereby activating MAPK signalling pathway. These findings provide insight into F. nucleatum-induced metabolic dysregulation and inflammatory cancer development and may propose novel intervention strategies for the prevention and treatment of microbial-associated inflammatory carcinogenesis.
