The gut microbiome in lung cancer: from pathogenesis to precision therapy.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 gut microbiome has emerged as a key modulator of immune responses and treatment efficacy in oncology. Growing evidence links gut dysbiosis to resistance against immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced cancers, prompting exploration of the gut-lung axis-a bidirectional network connecting intestinal microbiota with pulmonary health. Given lung cancer's status as the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, understanding this axis holds significant therapeutic potential. This review synthesizes current knowledge on gut microbiota's role in lung cancer development, diagnosis, and treatment. We highlight microbial signatures predictive of disease and therapy response, discuss microbiota-targeted interventions (e.g., probiotics, Fecal Microbiota Transplantation), and elucidate mechanistic insights into microbial-immune crosstalk. Finally, we outline future directions for leveraging the gut microbiome in personalized lung cancer management.
