The respiratory tract virome: unravelling the role of viral dark matter in respiratory health and disease.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 human respiratory tract virome is an underexplored component of the microbiome that includes eukaryotic viruses, bacteriophages and archaeal viruses. The respiratory virome represents a dynamic and heterogeneous ecosystem, shaped by host, environmental and microbial factors. Advances in metagenomic sequencing have expanded our understanding of virome composition, dynamics and potential roles in health and disease. Despite increasing interest, virome research remains fragmented and often secondary to bacteriome studies. Challenges in study design, genomic characterisation and interpretation limit consistent conclusions. This review summarises current knowledge of the respiratory virome in health and across acute and chronic respiratory diseases, including acute respiratory infection, asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. While each condition is distinct, they share features of airway inflammation and immune dysregulation where the virome may act as a modifier or marker. Across these syndromes, emerging evidence highlights the consistent detection of respiratory viruses including potential commensals, such as
