1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Lung cancer (LC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and resistance to therapy continues to pose a major clinical challenge. Increasing evidence highlights the relevance of the gut-lung axis in immune response modulation, tumor progression, and treatment outcomes. Within this inter-organ network, bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs), nanosized particles containing proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, serve as important mediators of host-microbiota communication, influencing immune regulation, metabolic pathways, and tumor biology. This review explores EV-mediated mechanisms involved in LC pathogenesis, including immune modulation, epigenetic regulation, and microbial metabolite signaling. The mechanistic influence of environmental and dietary factors on bEV composition and function is further explored, and emerging translational applications, ranging from diagnostic biomarker development to drug delivery strategies and modulation of immunotherapy responses, are discussed. Moreover, ongoing clinical trials testing microbiota-based strategies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are summarized, offering potential new perspectives for personalized cancer management.
