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

This review synthesizes recent research findings and proposes an integrated "microbiota-metabolite-immune-oncology" framework, highlighting how gut-derived metabolites regulate the dynamics of tumor immunity and informing the development of next-generation immunotherapies. Key metabolites-including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids (BAs), trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), and urolithin A-exert bidirectional effects on antitumor immunity through multiple mechanisms. These include histone acetylation-driven epigenetic reprogramming, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)- and farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-mediated metabolic reprogramming, and direct regulation of immune effectors such as CD8
