The role and mechanism of gut-lung axis mediated bidirectional communication in the occurrence and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Review in Gut microbes. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The current studies have shown that the occurrence and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are closely related to the changes in gut health and its microenvironment, and even some gut diseases have significant clinical correlation with COPD. The dysbiosis of gut microbiota observed in COPD patients also suggests a potential bidirectional interaction between the gut and lung. Communication between the gut and lung may occur through circulating inflammatory cells, gut microbial metabolites, and circulating inflammatory mediators, but the mechanism of bidirectional communication between the gut and lung in COPD is still under study. Therefore, more research is still needed in this area. In this review, we summarize recent clinical studies and animal models on the role of the gut-lung axis in the occurrence and development of COPD and its mechanisms, so as to provide ideas for further research in this field. In addition, we also summarized the negative effects of COPD medication on gut microbiota and the gut microbiota risk factors for COPD and proposed the potential prevention and treatment strategies.
