Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine interventions for influenza A based on the gut-lung axis: modern evidence for the exterior-interior relationship between the lung and large intestine.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a common respiratory pathogen that causes seasonal epidemics and severe infections, imposing substantial healthcare and economic burdens. IAV infection can disrupt the gut microbiota, and the resulting dysbiosis influences host status during both the early and later stages of infection. In recent years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown considerable potential in the treatment of IAV. Guided by the TCM concept of the exterior-interior relationship between the lung and large intestine and integrated with contemporary research on the gut-lung axis, this review summarizes advances in the mechanistic and preclinical evidence of Chinese herbal formulas, individual compounds, and polysaccharides in influenza A and outlines mechanism-based research directions and translational insights to inform future exploration.
