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

Cough, a reflex defense mechanism, is a common symptom of many airway inflammatory diseases. At present there are no satisfactory treatments for cough that have an acceptable side effect profile. Recent data have described the inhibitory effect of selective cannabinoid CB(2) receptor agonists on sensory nerve activity in vitro and the cough reflex in a guinea pig model. CB(2) receptor expression is limited in the central nervous system (CNS) and hence the development of selective agonists may provide a new therapeutic strategy for treatment of cough devoid of the CNS-mediated side effects that are normally associated with nonselective cannabinoid agonists.
