MDPD reveals specific microbial signatures in human pulmonary diseases.
Article in Briefings in bioinformatics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pulmonary diseases are becoming a serious threat worldwide, and enormous data from different human microbiomes have been generated to understand these complex diseases. Here, we introduce Microbiome Database of Pulmonary Diseases (MDPD), an open-access, comprehensive systemic catalog of pulmonary diseases by manually curating global studies from 2012 to 2024 (13 years). We have compiled 59 362 runs from 430 BioProjects, encompassing data from 10 body sites related to 19 pulmonary diseases and healthy groups covering 278 distinct sub-groups. MDPD enables users to analyze each BioProject and customize analysis with multiple BioProjects to identify taxonomic profiles and disease group/sub-group specific microbial signatures. The re-analyzed intermediate Biological Observation Matrix files are provided for each BioProject for the accessibility of users for further applications, such as machine learning-based classification. Identified microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses) in MDPD are annotated with several attributes, providing further insights into their disease-causing potential and specificity to certain diseases and body sites. MDPD is freely available at: https://bicresources.jcbose.ac.in/ssaha4/mdpd/.
