Future studies can build upon the paper's findings to improve our understanding of CMEs and their interactions with the solar wind. Further research can be conducted to study the effects of CMEs on the Earth's magnetosphere and upper atmosphere. The paper's results can be used to improve models of CMEs and their outflows.

The gap in knowledge is the lack of detailed investigations into the effects of transient CMEs on exoplanets. The understanding of stellar CMEs on other stars remains limited compared to stellar flare observations. The study aims to address this gap by exploring the effects of stellar wind and ICME magnetic-field orientation on exoplanetary magnetospheres.

Further studies are needed to investigate the formation of the bulge in different types of CMEs. The relationship between the bulge and the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field needs to be further studied. The development of a quantitative criterion for identifying the bulge is needed.
