Epithelial Sodium Channel in the Respiratory System: A Bibliometric Review of Recent Studies.
Review in Biology, 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
Inhibiting epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) provides clinical benefit in cystic fibrosis treatment, whereas activated alveolar ENaC attenuates acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, seldom bibliometric analysis of respiratory ENaC systematically evaluates hotspots and trends in ion transport, as well as providing few overviews for researchers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of respiratory ENaC over the past 40 years, identifying the research frontier and topic evolution. Searching the literature in Science Citation Index Expanded from Web of Science (WOS) and PubMed, a total of 1634 publications in 409 journals, authored by 5457 researchers from 60 countries/regions, were analyzed by CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and sciMAT software. The earliest highly cited article, titled 'Rescue of CF airway epithelial cell function in vitro by a CFTR potentiator, VX-770', had accumulated 1011 citations. The most prolific author, country, and journal were MA Mall, USA, and
