Respiratory Anatomy and Physiology of Reptiles.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
Reptiles have varied lung anatomy with three main lung types: unicameral, transitional, and multicameral. Crocodilians have a well-developed bronchial tree, while all other species have either a limited number of bronchi or no bronchi at all. The primary gas exchange structures are the faveoli and ediculae, which can have either homogeneous or heterogeneous distribution within the lung parenchyma. The physiology of reptile respiration is also complex, varied, and at times contradictory across species. A basic understanding of anatomy and physiology is essential for proper diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to reptile patients. Therefore, a paradigm shift is needed to start thinking of the anatomy and physiology of individual species rather than believing that a single concept applies to all reptiles equally. As such, future research should aim to duplicate concepts across the more common species encountered in clinical practice.
